On TCP-Friendly Video Transfer with Consideration on Application-Level QoS
نویسندگان
چکیده
When both TCP and UDP sessions co-exist in the Internet, the performance of TCP sessions easily deteriorate because of congestion incurred by UDP sessions of real-time multimedia applications. In this paper, we extend the TCP-friendly rate control protocol which originally pursuits the fair-share of link bandwidth among TCP and non-TCP sessions. With our proposed method, the achievable application-level QoS, such as perceived video quality and file transfer delay, becomes the same among TCP and non-TCP which traverse the same path. Through simulation experiments, we show that the high quality video transfer can be performed with our proposed method while satisfying the TCPfriendliness with regard to application-level QoS.

MPEG-4 Video Transfer with TCP-Friendly Rate Control
It is widely known that network bandwidth is easily monopolized by distributed multimedia applications due to their greedy UDP traffic. In this paper, we propose TCP-friendly MPEG-4 video transfer methods which enable realtime video applications to fairly shares the bandwidth with conventional TCP data applications. We consider how video applications should regulate video quality to adjust vide...
متن کاملIP Video Streaming with Fine-Grained TCP-Friendly Rate Adaptation
Video streaming over the Internet is a challenging task since the Internet is a shared environment offering only best effort service. That is, it offers no quality of service and no guarantee of resources in term of (1) bandwidth, (2) transfer delay, (3) delay variation (jitter), and (4) packet losses. Then, network stability and traffic fairness become critical issues. To solve these problems ...
متن کاملDynamic Quality Adaptation Mechanisms for TCP-friendly MPEG-4 Video Transfer
When a considerable amount of UDP traffic is injected into the Internet by distributed multimedia applications, it is easily driven congested. Consequently, bandwidth available to TCP connections is oppressed and their performance significantly deteriorates. In order that both multimedia applications and TCP-based ones fairly co-exist in the Internet, it becomes increasingly important to consid...
متن کاملStreaming MPEG-4 audio visual objects using TCP-friendly rate control and unequal error protection
This article describes a fair and robust video streaming framework over IP networks. It is based on an MPEG4 Audio-Visual Object (AVOs) classification, TCP-Friendly transport and out-of-band unequal forward error protection. According to network congestion feedback, video source servers dynamically adjust their bit rates by adding and dropping MPEG-4 AVO to conform to the TCP-Friendly Rate Cont...
متن کاملOn TCP-friendly Video Transfer
When both TCP and UDP connections co-exist in the Internet environment, the performance of TCP connections is heavily affected by the behavior of “greedy” UDP connections of real-time multimedia applications. In this paper, we propose a new TCP-friendly rate control protocol for UDP connections to fairly share the link with TCP connections. To achieve fairness among TCP and UDP connections whil...
