Streaming Stored Continuous Media Over Fair-Share Bandwidth

Tags:
bandwidth issues

Overview This paper investigates the impact of the long-term behavior of fair-share bandwidth on transmission schemes for streaming stored Continuous Media (CM). To obtain typical fair-share bandwidth conditions, a series of Internet experiments is performed in which the paper monitors TCP bulk-data transfers between various sites, and collect average TCP throughput traces. The collected traces exhibit high-variability over a broad range of time scales as well as self-similar scaling behavior over longer time scales. Under fair-share bandwidth conditions, the paper evaluates the performance of a series of data transmission schemes for non-layered CM, and of several bandwidth allocation schemes for streaming layered CM.
