“…2.1, to act friendly between both TCP applications and multicast applications. Those scenarios use background traffics [22], [23] and DropTail queue management, which is used by a typical router for managing incoming and outgoing packets in the buffers [24]. In addition, we proposed a set of mechanisms such as a simple class for creating a static wired network topology that can be used in NS2 simulation, providing various data rates with background traffics, a simple class of creating static wired network topology, various scenarios to represent the real internet environment.…”

Heru SUKOCO †, † †a) , Yoshiaki HORI †b) , Members, Hendrawan † † †c) , Nonmember, and Kouichi SAKURAI †d) , Member SUMMARYThe distribution of streaming multicast and real time audio/video applications in the Internet has been quickly increased in the Internet. Commonly, these applications rarely use congestion control and do not fairly share provided network capacity with TCP-based applications such as HTTP, FTP and emails. Therefore, Internet communities will be threatened by the increase of non-TCP-based applications that likely cause a significant increase of traffics congestion and starvation. This paper proposes a set of mechanisms, such as providing various data rates, background traffics, and various scenarios, to act friendly with TCP when sending multicast traffics. By using 8 scenarios of simulations, we use 6 layered multicast transmissions with background traffic Pareto with the shape factor 1.5 to evaluate performance metrics such as throughput, delay/latency, jitter, TCP friendliness, packet loss ratio, and convergence time. Our study shows that non TCP traffics behave fairly and respectful of the co-existent TCP-based applications that run on shared link transmissions even with background traffic. Another result shows that the simulation has low values on throughput, vary in jitter (0-10 ms), and packet loss ratio > 3%. It was also difficult to reach convergence time quickly when involving only non TCP traffics.

“…They found the smaller the MTU packet size set in the hint track, the greater the access bandwidth required, and reducing the Iframe frequency only increases little bandwidth gains. They investigated the performance of video streaming with different background traffic in another paper [18], using the same research approach. Ikkruthy et al reported in [19] that there is a trade-off between packet sizes and the amount of information lost.…”

Abstract-The high cost of rewiring existing houses with Ethernet to support broadband home networks has motivated consumers and service providers for "no-new-wires" and "nowires" technologies. IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN is preferred due to its flexibility and affordability, but the achievable coverage and data rate are still very limited in a household environment due to high attenuation and interference. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of MPEG-4 AVC video streaming over IEEE 802.11 Wireless Distribution System (WDS), which is often used to increase wireless coverage for data applications. Our results show that by properly adjusting wireless transmission power and rate, it is possible to increase the coverage and performance at the same time, which allows broadband applications such as IPTV to be delivered in multiple hops across house.

“…Among the most significant are low delivery rates, high error rates due to media characteristics, contention between stations for access to the medium, back-off mechanisms, collisions, signal attenuation with distance, signal interference, etc. Multimedia applications, in particular, impose onerous resource requirements on bandwidth constrained WLAN networks [2,3]. Under these conditions it is difficult to provide any Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees.…”

The bursty nature of video streaming applications is due to the frame-based structure of video and this has an important impact on the resource requirements of the WLAN, affecting its ability to provide Quality of Service (QoS) particularly under heavily loaded conditions. In this paper we analyse this bursty behaviour in depth. We show how each video frame is queued at the AP causing the packet delay to vary in a sawtooth manner that is related to the frame rate, the number of packets per video frame, and the packet size. We infer the maximum background traffic load that can be supported so that it does not negatively impact on the video streaming application. We demonstrate that there is a critical threshold load value above which the AP can no longer reliably support the video stream and compare it to the threshold load values calculated through analysis. Using this knowledge, the AP can employ resource allocation mechanisms to regulate the incoming traffic to the AP transmission queue so that QoS can be provided for streaming applications.
