LIGHT | Cache-aided Folding for Reducing VoD Loads in Networks

Summary
Communicating video-on-demand (VoD) over various networks is very costly. VoD drives up the costs for purchasing bandwidth and overprovisioning infrastructures, as well as the costs to content providers (Netflix, Amazon, etc.) that must pay large fees to network operators to deliver content to their clients. To reduce the massive VoD fees, networks employ caches. Our findings in our ERC project DUALITY reveal a new method of exploiting caches that boosts the performance of various networks. We wish to explore the practical ramifications of these findings in practical networks. This project will explore the algorithmic and testing work needed to render these ideas practical.
