Video servers are essential in video‐on‐demand and other multimedia applications. In this paper, we present our high‐performance clustered CBR video server, Odyssey . Odyssey is a server connecting PCs with switched Ethernet. It provides efficient support for normal play and interactive browsing functions such as fast‐forward and fast‐backward. We designed a set of algorithms for scheduling, synchronization and admission control, which results in a high utilization of resources. Odyssey is able to deliver a large number of video streams.
