TLDR
In this article, a system and method for caching sequential data streams in a cache storage device is presented, where each information stream is made as to whether its data blocks should be discarded from cache as they are read by a consuming process.Abstract:
A system and method for caching sequential data streams in a cache storage device. For each information stream, a determination is made as to whether its data blocks should discarded from cache as they are read by a consuming process. Responsive to a determination that the data blocks of a stream should be discarded from the cache are read by the consuming process, the data blocks associated with that stream are cached in accordance with an interval caching algorithm. Alternatively, responsive to a determination that the data blocks of a stream should not be discarded from the cache storage device as they are read by the consuming process, the data blocks of that stream are cached in accordance with a segment caching algorithm.read more

Client-side caching of streaming media content
TL;DR: In this paper, various functionality with respect to streaming media content is made available to users, including one or more of: streaming media contents at a rate independent of the encoded bit rate of the content, allowing streaming of content to continue even when the user has selected various shuttle control options (e.g., pause, stop, fast forward, seek, rewind, etc.).

Method and apparatus for caching for streaming data
TL;DR: In this article, a portion of the video title is cached at the proxy server where the portion cached is distributed over the video titles so as to reduce the peak bit rate required for the central server to send the remaining portion.

TL;DR: In this paper, a data buffer is coupled to a mass storage unit for storing up to M of the temporally-ordered segments, wherein M is less than N. The data buffer manager schedules the transfers in accordance with at least a predicted time that an individual one of temporally ordered segments will be required to be output from the data buffer.

Buffering and caching in large-scale video servers
TL;DR: The cost-performance trade-offs of various buffering and caching strategies that can be used in a large-scale video server are studied and the cost-effectiveness of a technique for memory caching across streams that exploits temporal locality and workload fluctuations is studied.

Networking requirements for interactive video on demand
TL;DR: A cost function is introduced that captures the combined bandwidth and storage requirements of the network and can be used by network designers to determine optimal topology, sharing, and caches for desired bandwidth versus memory costs in a particular network deployment.
