Multimedia Streaming in Multicast Environment
Main Article Content
Abstract
Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by and presented to an end-user while being delivered by a streaming
provider. The name refers to the delivery method of the medium rather than to the medium itself. The distinction is usually applied to media that
are distributed over telecommunications networks, as most other delivery systems are either inherently streaming or inherently nonstreaming.[
3] The verb 'to stream' is also derived from this term, meaning to deliver media in this manner. Internet television is a commonly
streamed medium. TCP is widely used in commercial multimedia streaming systems, with recent measurement studies indicating that a
significant fraction of Internet streaming media is currently delivered over HTTP/TCP. These observations motivate us to develop analytic
performance models to systematically investigate the performance of TCP for both live and stored-media streaming.
