Goals

• To determine if streaming applications can effectively share network resources when using TCPW

TCPW

• BWE– Original purpose: To determine window size

at TCP layer– Our application: To determine which video

layers to send

Layered Video

• 5 layers, different quality

• Utilize layers according to BWE

Layer 4Layer 3Layer 2Layer 1Layer 0

Layered Video over RTP

• Typical transport for streaming media

Simulations

• Run for 20 seconds– Three different scenarios

• Looking at:– Adaptation of Layered Video server– Fair-sharing of link

Scenario: Simultaneous

• Layered Video starts at 0 seconds• FTP starts at 0 seconds• FTP ends at 15 seconds

Future Work

• Create a simple protocol– UDP based– ACKs– No retransmissions– Fair share– BWE calculated using ACK

Conclusion

• BWE • TCP
