Content popularity difference-aware cache eviction scheme for CDN-P2P hybrid networks by Hua NIE, Min ZHANG, Jing-rong GUO, Xiao-long YANG

“…,Diff-Attribute) was proposed.Bewildered the holistic popularity of a content file,it also considered the individual popularity of its segment.More importantly,based on the concept of entropy,A method to measure the popularity difference between content files or segments was put forward.If the popularities of the segments within a content file are equalizing,its prefix segment would be pre-cached.Otherwise,the requested segments or files directly based on its popularity would be cached.Compared with traditional schemes (e.g.,LFU,LRU,MRU,FIFO),the simulation results show that Diff-Attribute can improve the cache hit rate and the byte hit rate by at least 6%,8% respectively,and can reduce the access startup delay rate and the transmission cost rate by at least 13%,7% respectively.…”
