Abstract(in English) The proxy mechanism widely used in WWW systems offers low-delay data delivery by means of "proxy server". By applying proxy mechanisms to the video streaming system, we expect that high-quality and low-delay video distribution can be accomplished without introducing extra load on a system. In addition, it is effective for proxy to adapt the quality of cached video data to users requests if requests are diverse due to heterogeneity in terms of the available bandwidth, end-system performance, and user's preferences on the perceived video quality. We have proposed proxy caching mechanisms to accomplish the high-quality and highly-interactive video streaming services. In our proposed system, a video stream is divided into blocks for efficient use of a cache buffer. A proxy server is assumed to be able to adjust the quality of a cached or retrieved video block to a request through video filters. In this paper, to verify the practicality of our mechanisms, we implemented them on a real system and conducted experiments. Through evaluations from several performance aspects, it was shown that our proposed mechanisms can provide users with a video streaming service in a heterogeneous environment.
