" "Dynamic request routing for online video-on-demand service: a Markov Decision Process approach," by J. Wan et al., investigates the request routing problem in the CDN-based video-on-demand system in which Markov decision process (MDP) and bounded-parameter MDP (BMDP) are used in the formulation of the system.
