Video traffic is widely expected to account for a large portion of the traffic in future wireline
and wireless networks, as multimedia applications are becoming increasingly popular …

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 …

An ef? cient transmission protocol for transmitting multime dia streams from a server to a
client computer over a diverse computer network including local area networks (LANs) and …

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 …

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 …

The transfer of prerecorded, compressed variable-bit-rate video requires multimedia
services to support large fluctuations in bandwidth requirements on multiple time scales …

This paper presents a general design strategy for streaming media applications in best effort
computing and networking environments. Our target application is video on demand using …

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 …
