High latency and loss rates in the Internet make it difficult to stream audio and video without
introducing a large playback delay. To address these problems, we propose a prefix caching …

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 …

Variable bit-rate (VBR) compressed video traffic is expected to be a significant component of
the traffic mix in integrated services networks. This traffic is hard to manage because it has …

A system and method are provided for analyzing and transmitting video over a switched
network. According to an aspect of the invention, two phases are generally provided: an …

Though the integrated services model and resource reservation protocol (RSVP) provide
support for quality of service, in the current Internet only best-effort traffic is widely supported …

Bandwidth smoothing techniques for stored video perform end to end workahead
transmission of frames into the client playback buffer, in advance of their display times. Such …

Video delivery from a server to a client across a network is an important component of many
multimedia applications. While delivering a video stream across a resource constrained …

We identify the importance of adaptation for the ubiquitous access to Internet multimedia
content. The variety of media types combined with the diversity of Internet connection …

Due to the high bandwidth requirement and rate variability of compressed video, delivering
video across wide area networks (WANs) is a challenging issue. Proxy servers have been …
