Abstract

Today, major newspapers and TV stations make live and on-demand audio/video content available, video-on-demand services are becoming common and even personal media are frequently uploaded to streaming sites. The discussion about the best transport protocol for streaming has been going on for years. Currently, HTTP-streaming is usual although the transport of streaming media data over TCP is hindered by TCP's probing behavior, which results in the rapid reduction and slow recovery of the packet rates. On the other hand, UDP has been criticized for being unfair against TCP, and it is therefore often blocked by access network providers.

Transparent protocol translation for streaming
MM '07: Proceedings of the 15th ACM international conference on Multimedia

The transport of streaming media data over TCP is hindered by TCP's probing behavior that results in the rapid reduction and slow recovery of the packet rates. On the other side, UDP has been criticized for being unfair against TCP connections, and it ...
Network-Supported Layered Multicast Transport Control for Streaming Media

Multicast is very efficient in distributing large volume of data to multiple receivers over the Internet. Layered multicast helps solve the heterogeneity problem in multicast delivery. Extensive work has been done in the area of layered multicast, for ...
A new TCP congestion control algorithm for media streaming
ICME'09: Proceedings of the 2009 IEEE international conference on Multimedia and Expo

This paper proposes a new TCP congestion control algorithm (TCP-MS) that works better with media streaming applications in terms of network bandwidth utilization, fairness and traffic smoothness. Different from traditional TCP congestion control ...
