Shukla Ravi, Prof. Darshana Shah · IOSR Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering · 2014
Adaptive streaming over Hyper-Text Transport protocol (HTTP) is the new trend in video delivery on the Internet and is expected to be supported by consumer electronic devices such as Blu-ray players and DVRs.Proprietary solutions have been around for a couple of years and standardization efforts are entering the final stage.Adaptive bit rate streaming is a technique used in streaming multimedia over computer networks.While in the past most video streaming technologies utilized streaming protocols such RTP with RTSP, today's adaptive streaming technologies are almost exclusively based on HTTP[1]and designed to work efficiently over large distributed HTTP networks such as the Internet.Experiments confirm that our algorithm outperforms popular segmentation techniques and saves10% of bandwidth on average for the same objective quality levels.This saving is significant given the volume of traffic that video delivery generates every day on the Internet.1
