Multimedia streaming data is very large in size and accessed sequentially, making the LRU(Least Recently Used) algorithm widely used to improve I/O performance in traditional caching environments ineffective. Experimental analysis of this has shown the superiority of interval-based caching over LRU, but the theoretical basis has not been proven. In this paper, we design a cache performance model to analyze the optimality of caching for multimedia streaming environments and design a theoretically optimal caching algorithm based on interval caching. Then, we show that the algorithm we design is an optimal algorithm that minimizes cache misses of streaming data based on the proposed model.
