It is a big challenge to provide Video-on-Demand streaming services over Internet in a scalable way. Currently, many researchers use a single channel overlay to implement the scalability of on-demand streaming services. However, in a real application environment, various channels in a P2P VOD system have different popularities, which probably cause the imbalance of data storage-capability of the whole system. It results in a problem that a mass of unpopular channels' caching capability can not be used to satisfy the data requirements of the whole system. In order to solve the problem, this paper proposes a new data-storage mechanism, which constructs a multi-channel overlay to optimize the whole system's caching-capability and greatly improves unpopular channel's caching efficiency. The experimental results show that this mechanism can achieve significant effects. © 2008 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
