MPEG-TFRCP: Video Transfer With TCP-Friendly Rate Control Protocol

Tags:
bandwidth issues

Overview As the use of real-time multimedia applications increases, bandwidth available to TCP connections is oppressed by "Greedy" UDP traffic and their performance extremely deteriorates. In order that both TCP and UDP sessions fairly co-exist in the Internet, UDP sessions should properly react against congestion as TCP. The work discussed in this paper implements a "TCP-friendly" rate control mechanism suitable to video applications and investigate its applicability to a real system through observation of the video quality at the receiver. It is shown through the experimental system that one can achieve high-quality and stable video transfer while fairly sharing the network bandwidth with TCP by applying the rate control at a control interval of 16 or 32 times as long as RTT.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
