On the Stability of End-Point-Based Multimedia Streaming

چکیده
In this paper we propose an analytical model of a resilient, tree-based end-node multicast streaming architecture that employs path diversity and forward error correction for improved resilience to node churns and packet losses. Using the model and via simulations we study the performance of this architecture in the presence of packet losses and dynamic node behavior. We show that the overlay can distribute data to nodes arbitrarily far away from the root of the trees as long as the loss probability is lower than a certain threshold, but the probability of packet reception suddenly drops to zero once this threshold is exceeded. The value of the threshold depends on the ratio of redundancy and on the number of the distribution trees. Using the model and simulations we show that correlated and inhomogeneous losses slightly worsen the overlay’s performance. We apply the model to study the effects of dynamic node behavior and compare its results to simulations.

We design a bandwidth and latency aware application layer multicast protocol to stream multimedia content. This protocol considers network bandwidth heterogeneity, in which the cluster population is bounded by the capacity of the access point. The cluster range is limited by the end-to-end latency threshold. This protocol achieves high scalability by distributed and local administration. The ap...

متن کاملA Synchronization Control Scheme for Real-time Streaming Multimedia Applications
In this paper, we propose an adaptive synchronization control scheme to achieve both intra-stream and interstream synchronization for real-time streaming multimedia applications on the Internet. Based upon synchronization errors calculated in real-time, our scheme piecewisely adjusts the end-to-end delay to compensate for the delay variation. It does so by controlling the virtual clock implemen...
