An Experimental Investigation of the End-to-End QoS of the Apple Darwin Streaming Server
Overview Video content distribution over the traditional best-effort, store-and-forward Internet Protocol is of ever increasing importance due to the great success of new web services such as personal video broadcast or television over IP (IPTV). This paper investigates the end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) that is provided by the Apple Darwin Streaming Server and the Quick-Time client player in the presence of time-varying available bandwidth and multiple concurrent streaming sessions. The considered end-to-end QoS parameters are loss rates and friendliness experienced in the presence of variable available bandwidth and when multiple QuickTime streaming sessions and/or TCP sessions compete in order to obtain a bandwidth share.
