Streaming Media Via TCP: Approaches to Bandwidth Sharing and Rate Adjustment
Overview Supporting multimedia applications is one requirement driving the development of a differentiated services Internet. One challenge multimedia application developers face is that streaming audio and video places multiple competing requirements on the underlying transport mechanism. For example, sharing network resources with data applications encourages media applications to use either TCP-friendly rate control mechanisms or TCP itself. Yet a multimedia application's transport requirements are generally poorly matched to the transport service provided by a single TCP connection.
