Existing HTTP caches interact poorly with multiple Dynamic Adaptive
Streaming over HTTP (DASH) streams of the same content: time and quality
differences prevent a complete representation from being cached, reducing
hit-ratios. We propose to consolidate near-simultaneous streams based on
time or quality, where the improved cache performance makes this
worthwhile. We estimate that there is a sufficient number of
near-simultaneous streams for our proposed techniques to improve cache
hit-ratios.
