Overview of Multicast Streaming - Scalable Continuous Media Streaming Systems - page 294

16.5 Summary
This chapter has presented an overview of network multicast in general and multicast stream-
ing in particular. The focus of Part II will be on techniques to support on-demand multicast
streaming, which are classified into closed-loop algorithms (Chapter 17), open-loop algorithms
(Chapter 18), and hybrid algorithms (Chapter 19). In Chapter 20 we address the I/O issues in
implementing hybrid media servers supporting both periodic and aperiodic data retrievals.
