Congestion Control for Interactive Media: Control Loops & APIs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Standardisation of Web Real-Time Communications (WebRTC) and Telepresence will likely lead to greatly increased deployment of interactive multimedia applications on the Internet. The resulting high-rate multimedia traffic may cause congestion, but few congestion control solutions have been proposed. We suggest that the congestion control, codec, and application be coupled and engage in a dialogue on the correct response to congestion; and that congestion control consider semantic feedback, not just transport-layer metrics.

Supporting Low Latency TCP-Based Media Streams
The dominance of the TCP protocol on the Internet and its success in maintaining Internet stability has led to several TCP-based stored media-streaming approaches. The success of these approaches raises the question whether TCP can be used for low-latency streaming. Low latency streaming allows responsive control operations for media streaming and can make interactive applications feasible. We ...
متن کاملA Survey on Congestion Control Mechanisms
Congestion Control performs a very important role in Computer Networks, Modern Telecommunication, Internet and both wired and wireless communications are being intended for high-speed communication of large amounts of data. Due to lack of proper Congestion control mechanism the congestion collapse of such networks would become highly complex. A network with Streamed media traffic is a challenge...

متن کاملOn Design of Adaptive Internet Streaming Applications: An Architectural Perspective
Internet streaming applications should be congestion controlled and quality adaptive. Although the need for adaptive Internet streaming applications has been recognized, no comprehensive architecture that properly incorporates congestion control mechanism has been presented. Large scale deployment of non-congestion controlled streaming applications could endanger stability of the Internet. In t...
متن کاملDistortion-based Media-friendly Congestion Control
This paper describes a media-friendly congestion control algorithm suited for multimedia streaming in best-effort networks. The transmission rate computed by this algorithm follows the shape of the transmission rate of a TCP-friendly congestion control, but it considers also the distortion it would create in the stream perceived by the receiver. Based on this predicted distortion, the media-fri...
