[vlc-devel] GSoC: streaming cluster server?

[Balazs Gerofi]

Dear All,

I am a student of Tokyo University majoring in operating systems and cluster
computing.
My current research involves process migration with TCP/UDP connections in a
way that
the transition is transparent on the client side. My main purpose with this
is addressing
reliability and availability for services provided by clusters.

I have the migration implemented and I would like to apply it on a streaming
server.
VLC could be a candidate, but as far as I understood client connections are
handled
in one address-space instead of per-client processes. I would have to modify
this so
that client processes could be migrated independently.

I am wondering whether this could be a Google Summer of Code project or not.
Please let me know if so and who I could talk to about this in more details!

Thank you,
Balazs Gerofi
