Abstract:
Video streaming makes most of Internet traffic nowadays, being transported over Hypertext Transfer Proto- col/Transmission Control Protocol (HTTP/TCP). Being the pre- dominant transport protocol, TCP stack performance in trans- porting video streams has become paramount, specially with regard to multipath transport protocol innovation and multiple client device interfaces currently available. In this paper, we characterize Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time (BBR) congestion control performance when streaming video over cellular and Wi-Fi access networks, comparing its performance to other available congestion control schemes and path schedulers. We use network performance level, as well as video quality level metrics to characterize multiple path sched- ulers and resulting network and application layers’ interactions.
