Dynamic Request Routing for Online Video-on-Demand Service: A Markov Decision Process Approach

We investigate the request routing problem in the CDN-based Video-on-Demand system. We model the system as a controlled queueing system including a dispatcher and several edge servers. The system is formulated as a Markov decision process (MDP). Since the MDP formulation suffers from the so-called “...
