  abstract = {
    This paper presents a simulation study of a
    video-on-demand system.  The focus of the study is the effectiveness
    of different caching strategies on a video-on-demand system with two
    levels of cache, RAM and disks, in front of a tape library.  Using an
    event-driven simulator, I show that caching was helpful in increasing
    the service capacity of the system.  On-demand caching showed its
    advantages especially when the requests were clustered around a few
    popular titles (in other words, there was temporal locality).
