Requirement Analysis
1.1 Scope:
The project should consider following points as a scope: Cluster of mini VODServers for Real Time Media delivery: This is main module of project, which offers highest cost/performance, bandwidth availability, manage load by distributing the data and finally manages the scalability. Streaming of Real-Time Media at Server Side: Content delivery networks (CDN) represent a server-side solution to streaming that is proactive in nature. If time or experience is an issue, PlayStream can capture and encode your media for you in any format we deliver at a competitive rate. After uploading your content to PlayStreams Content Delivery Network, your content is available to embed or link-to within your website, allowing complete flexibility over how you integrate media into your web presence. Supported Formats: MPEG, MOV, CODEC Independent distribution and delivery supports multiple media formats concurrently for mixed media deployments. Project can try to support above formats of Real-Time data at the time of Streaming and Content Delivery. Load Balancing using Round-Robin Algorithm in the Cluster: To balance the load of cluster project can use Round-Robin Method of load balancing in cluster because this method is easy to implement and effective where all the nodes in the cluster are identical in capacity and performance. Managed Delivery of Media to Clients by considering QOS factors: Media Server can send data via UDP or TCP protocol. In this project implements protocol rollover concept by changing the protocol from UDP to TCP or viceversa. Based on connection speed returned to the server from the player the server will send the highest play supported stream from a multiple-bit-rate streaming file, the whole file in the case of a single-bit-rate streaming file, or just the audio portion of an audio/video streaming file if the player connection speed is not fast enough to accept all video data.

 Splitter and Mirroring: Splitter splits real-time data on cluster of servers in efficient manner so that accessibility of data manages properly. Software architecture for continuously mirroring streaming data received by one node of a cluster-based server to other cluster nodes. The intent is to distribute the load on the server generated by the data's processing and distribution to many clients. This is particularly important when the server not only processes streaming data, but also performs additional processing tasks that heavily depend on current application state. This feature is important if any one server goes fail in the cluster then mirroring of data of another server can easily handle the clients request.

1.2 Software Requirement Specification (SRS):

Introduction: The purpose of this document is to collect, analyze and define high-level needs and features of the Network Load Balancing on Serverless Architecture by the stakeholders, and the target users, and why these needs exist. The details of how the software based Network Load Balancing on Serverless Architecture Streaming Servers fulfils these needs are detailed in the use-case and supplementary specifications.

Definitions and Acronyms: Bit stream Content Delivery Network Cluster Ethernet FPS Frame Data that is transmitted between systems carrying audio, video, data and signaling. Multiple-bit-rate-stream and Single-bit-rate-stream. Proactive approach of streaming can capture and encode media in PlayStream which can directly play on web presence. Group of servers that work together to provide Real-Time Data to scalable clients by managing bandwidth. The most widely used form of local-area network (LAN). In the original form, signals are broadcast on coaxial cables, analogous to radio transmission. Frames Per Second One complete video picture. A frame may be composed of two fields (interlaced video) or may be whole (progressive

or non interlaced video) It is simultaneous bi-directional transmission, as opposed to alternating bi-directional transmission (half duplex). It is bi-directional transmission in alternating (not simultaneous) directions. Distributes the traffic load of network across cluster to maintain high availability and high performance. Resending of data via TCP if some attempts fails by UDP or vice-versa. Local Area Network. A measure of detail in a digital visual image, measured either in number of pixels in the horizontal and vertical directions, or in pixels per unit of physical measure of the display device. Real Time Protocol. Real Time Control Protocol. Real Time Streaming Protocol. Streaming sends packets of data to the viewers computer, which then plays as it receives the packets of data. Copy of streaming data received by one node of a clusterbased server to other cluster nodes.

Team Structure: The following is a description of the stakeholders of the system.

Behavioral Description:

In consideration of behavior of project Authenticated Users request Real-Time data to Load Balancer Server i.e. Database Server via LAN or WAN. Database Server that works as a middleware sends the request to the Cluster of Media Servers. Media Servers contains all Streamed Real-Time Data in proper splitting manner. Middleware checks the request and send it to proper Media Server in the Cluster. Media Server directly sends the response to User directly so that the load of Database Server is managed efficiently. The cluster of the Media Servers provides solution on server failure by mirroring of data from one node to another node. This feature is probably increases the performance of the response. By using the feature of Clustering project can manage the load of network traffic as well as increases high availability and scalability.

System Requirements: 1. S/W Requirements: Operating System

Microsoft Windows 98, NT Server 4.0, SP3 and above Windows 2000 Professional HP-UX 11i

Programming Languages The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) defines the standard for

developing multitier enterprise applications. The J2EE platform simplifies enterprise applications by basing them on standardized, modular components, by providing a complete set of services to those components, and by handling many details of application behavior automatically, without complex programming. The J2EE platform takes advantage of many features of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE), such as "Write Once, Run Anywhere" portability, JDBC API for database access, CORBA technology for interaction with existing enterprise resources, and a security model that protects data even in internet applications. The Java Media Framework (JMF) API enables audio, video and other timebased media to be added J2EE web applications. This optional package can capture, playback, stream and trans code multiple media formats, extends the multimedia capabilities on the J2EE platform, and gives multimedia developers a powerful toolkit to develop scalable, cross-platform technology. We have to use JMF because: JMF2.1.1, the latest release simplifies RTP usage, adds significant performance enhancements when using HotSpot in J2SE and J2EE, adds a Direct-Audio-Rendered for reduced latency, extends the JMF customizer to work on performance pack, adds greater RTP/RTSP support to interoperate with standards-based, third party video streaming servers.
