On Fairness Issue of ABR and TCP Algorithms in Video Streaming
Tomotaka Matsumoto, Koki Goto, Miki Yamamoto · 2020
User perceived performance of MPEG DASH video streaming deeply depends on interaction of higher layer (application layer) behavior of ABR algorithm and lower layer (transport layer) behavior of TCP algorithm. The lower layer behavior of MPEG DASH is determined by a TCP version, e.g. CUBIC and Compound TCP. The higher layer behavior of MPEG DASH depends on an ABR algorithm for bitrate selection. In this work-in-progress paper, we would like to show a potential approach of fairness improvement for carefully selected combination of the ABR algorithm and the TCP version, which is obtained from our on-going evaluation results.
