摘要:As the rate of internet users is increasing on a daily basis, a tremendous amount of these users are accessing online streaming websites and applications. This paper proposes a live streaming architecture that supports traffic balancing during peak times and bitrate adaptation. Rather than replicating content on multiple servers, we implemented traffic balancing by assigning a temporary regional server to manage the traffic at regional area. Bitrate adaptation at server side was also proposed and implemented to provide a fair video quality to all users. Through a few tests that has been run on the testbed, we can see the live video streaming was move seamlessly from one server to another server with an acceptable video quality among the users.
