Abstract
This paper examines the effect of multicasting and storing multiple media
object types on a storage system. We have extended Watkins and Omiecinski's
study[2] on the performance of continuous media storage strategies using
parallelism with merging, by extending the simulator created by Watkins to
include multicasting capability as well as accepting a general list of
media object types to be stored in the system. We hypothesized that adding
more media types would affect external and internal degrees of
fragmentation and multicasting would affect the average wait queue size. We
then designed and ran a number of experiments using additional media types
as well as multicasting and compared our results with results from previous
experiments.
