Abstract
Fault tolerance in a distributed streaming system including fractional-storage CDN servers storing erasure-coded fragments encoded with a redundancy factor greater than one from segments of streaming contents. Each server delivers fragments, at a certain fragment delivery throughput, to multiple assembling devices using a fragment pull protocol, wherein a reduction in the fragment delivery throughput of one of the servers triggers a process in which at least some of the other servers approximately immediately increase their fragment delivery throughput as a reaction to the fragment pull protocol, to compensate for the reduced throughput.
