【 摘 要 】

This paper proposes a load balancing algorithm for a distributed VoD architectureusing agents. A mobile agent is used to frequently update the popularity of thevideos based on which channel allocation is done effectively. The proposedapproach groups a set of local proxy servers into a Local Proxy Server Group[LPG] for load balancing among the proxy servers, to reduce the load on thecentral multimedia server, to reduce storage redundancy among the proxyservers and to maximize the channel utilization. The simulation results prove theload balancing among the local proxy servers, reduction of load on centralmultimedia server, maximum channel utilization and more channel allocation forpopular videos.
