Abstract:
Video streaming has become the major source of Internet traffic nowadays. Considering that content delivery network providers utilize Video over Hypertext Transfer Protocol/Transmission Control Protocol (HTTP/TCP) as the preferred protocol stack for video streaming, understanding TCP performance in transporting video streams has become paramount. Recently, multipath transport protocols have allowed video streaming over multiple paths to become a reality. In this paper, we analyze the impact of path switching on multipath video streaming and network performance, and propose new schedulers which minimize the number of path switching. We utilize network performance measures, as well as video quality metrics, to characterize the performance and interaction between network and application layers of video streams for various network scenarios.
