Abstract

Existing HTTP caches interact poorly with multiple Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) streams of the same content: time and quality differences prevent a complete representation from being cached, reducing hit-ratios. We propose to consolidate near-simultaneous streams based on time or quality, where the improved cache performance makes this worthwhile. We estimate that there is a sufficient number of near-simultaneous streams for our proposed techniques to improve cache hit-ratios.
