SUMMARY:Can we leverage a Software Defined Networking (SDN) approach on Vi
 deo streaming to benefit both the Network and its Users? - Panagiotis Geor

DESCRIPTION:Recent years have seen the growing popularity of video streami
 ng in best effort IP networks. In 2011\, Internet video traffic accounted 
 for 51% of all consumer Internet traffic\, and High Definition content bec
 ame the de facto quality level consumed by users. This talk will discuss a
 n SDN-based solution that addresses the high strain the resource intensive
  video traffic is placing on the underlying network. We will present an Op
 enFlow-based intelligent in-network caching service that removes the need 
 for transmitting the same Video-on-Demand content end-to-end\, multiple ti
 mes\, over the network. Our solution aims not only to improve network util
 isation\, but also to provide a higher Quality of Experience for the video
  streaming users of a network.\n\n \nBio : Dr. Panagiotis Georgopoulos is 
 a Research Associate (Post Doc) at the School of Computing and Communicati
 ons at Lancaster University. His work in the Ofelia FP7 EU project is focu
 sed on developing an OpenFlow-based in-network caching service for Video-o
 n-Demand traffic. He is also part of the Security Lancaster initiative\, f
 or which the University has been awarded the "Academic Centre of Excellenc
 e in Cyber Security Research" title. He holds a PhD in Networking and an M
 Sc in Critical Software Engineering from Lancaster University.\n
