An evaluation of TCP-based rate-control algorithms for adaptive internet streaming of H.264/SVC
Robert Kuschnig, Ingo Kofler, Hermann Hellwagner · 2010
Recent work in TCP video streaming indicates that multimedia streaming via TCP provides satisfactory performance when the achievable TCP throughput is approximately twice the media bit rate. However, these conditions may not be achievable on the Internet, e.g., when the delivery path offers insufficient bandwidth or becomes congested due to competing traffic. Therefore, adaptive streaming for videos over TCP is required and a number of rate-control algorithms for video streaming have been proposed and evaluated in the literature.\\
