- This highly-cited paper in SIGCOMM, the top networking venue, shows how to stream encrypted video from a server far more hardware-resource-efficiently than previously believed possible, using less than half the CPU of Netflix’s highly optimized prior design. The Netflix co-author is evidence of this work’s major commercial significance. Originality: first to integrate disk and network I/O, streaming data through CPU’s cache. Rigour: full implementation for state-of-the-art CPU, SSD, and NIC, and comparison against commercial Netflix server (a rarity, given limited access to commercial systems). Netflix is looking at incorporating aspects of this design into future commercial video streaming server deployment.
