Improving VoD Performance with LAN Client Back-End Buffering

We developed a peer-to-peer local area network client back-end buffering system module for video-on-demand (VoD) systems. Our aim is to minimize both the number and duration of stops experienced by users, thereby minimizing the cost while improving the performance. Simulations show that our module outperforms both typical and recently proposed VoD systems
