Performance Analysis of TCP Interactive based World Wide Video Streaming over ABone: Jitter and Delay Management
Javed Khan, Raid Y. Zaghal · 2003
Interactivity in transport protocol can greatly benefit transport friendly applications. We have recently implemented an interactive version of TCP. The implementation has two components-- an interactive transport protocol over FreeBSD called iTCP and, a novel symbiotic MPEG-2 full logic transcoder, which can dynamically change video characteristics based on interactive congestion response inside network layer. We have experimented with the real system on the Active Network (ABone) using selected nodes in the U.S. and Europe. In this report we present the jitter and delay experiments of the live video streaming results to these sites. A second report contains the detail results from application level video quality experiments.
