The inherent instability and unreliability of peer-to-peer networks introduce several fundamental engineering challenges to multimedia streaming over peer-to-peer networks. First,...
Detecting the failure of a data stream is relatively easy when the stream is continually full of data. The transfer of large amounts of data allows for the simple detection of inte...
For transmission of continuous media (CM) streams such as audio and video over the Internet, a critical issue is that periodic network overloads cause bursty packet losses. Studie...
We introduce Adaptive Smooth Simulcast Protocol (ASSP) for simulcast transmission over best-effort networks. ASSP is a new multiple-rate protocol that implements a single rate TCP...
—The main goal of a streaming application is to enable the successful decoding of each video object before its displaying deadline is violated, and to recover from a deadline vio...
