Abstract

The WebRTC framework enables direct browser-to-browser communication for VoIP, video-conferencing but also generic javascript-based peer-to-peer (P2P) applications. In this paper, we address a major deficiency of the framework, that is the absence of a background transfer protocol. In doing so, we enable the development of un-intrusive data-intensive P2P applications, such as file-sharing and content delivery, on top of WebRTC. This work constitutes the first step in the process of studying and improving WebRTC's network stack in the context of a real use-case, that is a commercial distributed content delivery application.

FLOWER, an innovative Fuzzy Lower-than-Best-Effort transport protocol

We present a new delay-based transport protocol named FLOWER, that aims at providing a Lower-than-Best-Effort (LBE) service. The objective is to propose an alternative to the Low Extra Delay Background Transport (LEDBAT) widely deployed within the ...
Delay-based congestion control: Flow vs. BitTorrent swarm perspectives

BitTorrent, one of the most widespread file-sharing P2P applications, recently introduced LEDBAT, a novel congestion control protocol aiming at (i) limiting the additional delay due to queuing, to reduce interference with the rest of user traffic (e.g., ...
Impact of Delay Variability on LEDBAT Performance
AINA '11: Proceedings of the 2011 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications

Low Extra Delay Background Transport (LEDBAT) congestion control algorithm is designed to address the unfairness problem of TCP aggravated by applications that use multiple TCP connections for data transfer. LEDBAT operates under the assumption that the ...
