dc.description.abstract | Increasing demand for video applications over the Internet and the inherent
uncooperative behavior of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) used currently as
the transport protocol of choice for video networking applications, is known to
be leading to congestion collapse of the Internet. The congestion collapse can be
prevented by using mechanisms in networks that penalize uncooperative flows
like UDP or employing end-to-end congestion control. Since today’s vision for
the Internet architecture is based on moving the complexity towards the edges of
the networks, employing end-to-end congestion control for video applications has
recently been a hot area of research. One alternative is to use a Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP)-friendly end-to-end congestion control scheme. Such
schemes, similar to TCP, probe the network for estimating the bandwidth available
to the session they belong to. The average bandwidth available to a session
using a TCP-friendly congestion control scheme has to be the same as that of
a session using TCP. Some TCP-friendly congestion control schemes are highly
responsive as TCP itself leading to undesired oscillations in the estimated bandwidth
and thus fluctuating quality. Slowly responsive TCP-friendly congestion
control schemes to prevent this type of behavior have recently been proposed
in the literature. The main goal of this thesis is to develop an architecture for
video streaming in IP networks using slowly responding TCP-friendly end-to-end
congestion control. In particular, we use Binomial Congestion Control (BCC).
In this architecture, the video streaming device intelligently discards some of
the video packets of lesser priority before injecting them in the network in order
to match the incoming video rate to the estimated bandwidth using BCC and
to ensure a high throughput for those video packets with higher priority. We
iiidemonstrate the efficacy of this architecture using simulations in a variety of
scenarios. | en_US |
