Stochastic Modeling and Performance Analysis for Video-On-Demand Systems

This study deals with the VOD system having limited number of channels and servicing of requests for mixed movies of different durations and popularity. The performance measures such as channel utilization, number of channels in use, blocking probability of channels, etc. are quantified in terms of various design parameters like, total number of channels, users request arrival rate, batching interval and request service rate etc.
