Methods to Improve QoS of Internet Video Streaming
Tao Wen · Guangxi Communication Technology · 2003
Video streaming has strict bandwidth, delay and packet loss requirements. but the besteffort services of current Internet can not afford any quality of service (QoS) guarantees to the real-time traffic. Congestion control is required to reduce bursty loss and excessive delay, but packet loss is still unavoidable, thus error recovery mechanism must be used as well as congestion control. This paper analyst factors of QoS of Internet Video streaming, and proposed two mechanisms one is based on end-point and the other is based on network. This paper mainly discusses mechanism based on end-point, because it is easier to realize in current Internet environment.
