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 perfor- mance in transporting video streams has become paramount. Recently, multipath transport protocols have allowed streaming of video over multiple paths. In this paper, we analyze the impact of handoffs on multipath video streaming and network performance on WiFi and cellular paths. We utilize network performance measures, as well as video quality metrics, to characterize the performance and interaction between network and application layers of video data for various network scenarios.
