Receiver-Driven Bandwidth Sharing for TCP and Its Application to Video Streaming

Date: January 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

Overview: Despite the recent explosion in availability of broadband Internet access, the majority of home users have relatively small-bandwidth links in comparison with the sites hosting desired content. Applications using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) dominate most of Internet traffic today. Standard TCP shares bottleneck link capacity according to connection Round-Trip-Time (RTT), and may result in bandwidth partition which does not necessarily coincide with user’s desires. This Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers paper presents receiver-based BandWidth Sharing System (BWSS) for allocating capacity of last-hop access links according to user preferences.
