PLATFORM BENEFITS Sample Clauses

PLATFORM BENEFITS. The Platform benefits are described in detail in Section 7 of D3.1 “FMI Vision, Use Cases and Scenarios”. In general, the goal is to improve performance of interactive media systems whilst managing costs associated with infrastructure resources. Figure 3 provides a summary of four key performance requirements for FMI and generally the 5G space along discussion of associated benefits:  Reduce latency: latency has long been recognized as a major impact on user experience, leading not only to the deployment of content delivery networks but many past and ongoing protocol improvements (e.g., introduction of QUIC [QUIC] aiming at browsing latency improvements). Reducing the service path length is an important target for FLAME through utilizing an intelligent service endpoint management and flexible routing solutions.  Stem unicast proliferation: the emergence of HTTP as the de-facto streaming protocol in the Internet, infrastructure providers are currently incapable of utilizing in-network multicast capabilities to stem the linear cost explosion that the unicast delivery model of HTTP creates. Through its capability to deliver HTTP response through in-network native multicast, FLAME provides a unique capability that significantly reduces costs for multi-viewer scenarios.

Through its capability to deliver HTTP response through in-network native multicast, FLAME provides a unique capability that significantly reduces costs for multi-viewer scenarios. Figure 3: FLAME Platform Benefits Addressing FMI and 5G Requirements • Differentiate services: virtualization opens up the capability to differentiate services by placing service endpoints throughout the network with localized and personalized behaviour. This, however, requires the network to provide a dynamic service routing capability that directs traffic to the most appropriate local service instance. Also, a failover mechanism is required to indirect service requests if a local instance is unable to provide sufficient service response. Furthermore, adaptive media delivery is crucial for differentiation of services, allowing for adapting services, for instance, to different user device requirements by adding transcoding capabilities to the service path for specific users. FLAME provides exactly these capabilities. • Localize traffic: reduction of network traffic is often realized through localizing traffic wherever possible, also addressing the aforementioned latency reduction. Capitalizing on FLAME capabilities to dynamically route requests to the most appropriate service instance achieves a likely significant reduction of traffic being sent over longer paths. It also allows for keeping da...
