The authors examine the transport and storage of video compressed with a variable bit rate
(VBR). They focus primarily on networked video, although they also briefly consider other …

Variable-bit-rate (VBR) compressed video can exhibit significant multiple-time-scale bit-rate
variability. In this paper we consider the transmission of stored video from a server to a client …

VBR compressed video is known to exhibit significant, multiple-time-scale bit rate variability.
In this paper, we consider the transmission of stored video from a server to a client across a …

Video has been an important media for communications and entertainment for many
decades. Initially video was captured and transmitted in analog form. The advent of digital …

Multimedia networking applications and, in particular, the transport of c-pressed video are
expected to contribute signi? cantly to the tra? c in the future Internet and wireless networks …

Variable bit-rate (VBR) compressed video is known to exhibit significant, multiple-time-scale
rate variability. A number of researchers have considered transmitting stored video from …

The recently developed H. 264/AVC encoder compresses video significantly more efficiently
than previous encoders and is expected to be used for compressing the majority of video …

Compressed digital video is one of the most important traffic types in future integrated
services networks. However, a network service that supports delay-sensitive video imposes …

Variable bit-rate (VBR) transmission of video over ATM networks has long been said to
provide substantial benefits, both in terms of network utilization and video quality, when …

Delivering real-time video over the Internet is an important component of many Internet
multimedia applications. Transmission of real-time video has bandwidth, delay, and loss …
