DIRECTORY LIMIT BASED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STORING MEDIA SEGMENTS

摘要

A system and method for facilitating directory limit based storage scheme for uploading media segments in multiple directories at one or more media servers. Directory limit parametric information may be provided or otherwise configured in an upload profile of a packager node to construct URLs based on the directory parametric information for identifying locations in a directory tree structure that may be configured to map to a variety of physical and/or virtual storage schemes.

1. A method operating at an adaptive streaming packager node for facilitating scalable storage for media segments, the method comprising:
configuring directory limit parametric information operative to specify a maximum number of media segments that can be stored in a directory of a file system associated with a media server; segmenting a content program into a plurality of media segments; constructing resource locators based on the directory limit parametric information for storing the media segments across a variable number of directories associated with the media server; and uploading the media segments at storage locations referenced by the resource locators across the directories of the media server.
