ABSTRACT:
A system and method for modeling accesses of a streaming file are provided. In certain embodiments, the method comprises identifying, for a time interval of interest, at least one request received at a server for accessing a streaming file, and for each of the at least one request, determining a segment of the streaming file accessed during the time interval of interest. If multiple requests are identified for the streaming file during the time interval of interest, then determining, from the determined segments of the streaming file accessed by each of the multiple requests, at least one unique segment of the streaming file that was most recently accessed within the time interval of interest.
