I-Corps: Optimized Content Delivery Networks

这个I-Corps项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力包括内容交付技术的商业化，这使得新一代视频流服务和虚拟现实等新兴服务成为可能，以及加速Web性能，媒体交付和云网络服务。 预计这种商业化将大大降低网络运营商的带宽使用和运营成本。 预计它将对内容交付和云计算应用的网络架构产生直接和长期的影响。 它还将影响研究生在技术转型、知识产权管理、业务开发和市场营销等领域的培训。该I-Corps项目预计将显著推进算法和协议的最新水平，这些算法和协议以可扩展、分布式和自适应的方式优化使用带宽和存储，以提高内容交付性能，减少用户延迟，降低带宽成本。与当前大多数解决方案不同，这里使用的算法针对多跳、多数据源网络设置进行了优化。 如果部署得当，它们将能够提供新一代数据丰富的内容和云计算服务。

The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project includes the commercialization of content delivery technology which enables a new generation of video streaming services and emerging services such as virtual reality, as well as accelerated web performance, media delivery, and cloud networking services. This commercialization is expected to dramatically decrease bandwidth usage and operating cost for network operators. It is expected to have direct and long-term impact on network architectures for content delivery and cloud computing applications. It will also impact the training of graduate students in the areas of technology transition, intellectual property management, business development, and marketing.This I-Corps project is expected to significantly advance the state of the art in algorithms and protocols which optimally use bandwidth and storage to improve content delivery performance in reducing user delay and decreasing bandwidth costs, in a scalable, distributed, and adaptive manner. Unlike most current solutions, the algorithms used here are optimized for multi-hop, multiple-data-source network settings. When properly deployed, they will enable the delivery of a new generation of data-rich content and cloud computing services.
