An End-to-end Congestion Control Strategy for Streaming Media Based on TCPW
Li Song · 2008
Due to time-variable and heterogeneous network,streaming media system always can not adapt to the network bandwidth well. Based on analyzing the strategy of congestion control of Darwin Streaming Server,using TCP Westwood to estimate the bandwidth,an improved congestion control strategy is proposed in this paper and validated in a real-time video transport system. Experimental result shows that the improved strategy not only improves the video quality in the receiver,but also improves the bandwidth utility.
