Abstract
Explosive growth in online services has recently re-
newed the interest for building modular and efficient
network server systems. System design complica-
tions coupled with excessive expectations from tech-
nological progress previously discouraged the devel-
opment of media servers efficiently supporting video
streams with variable bit rates. In this paper, we de-
scribe the design of a distributed media server archi-
