A new technique for minimizing network loss from users perspective
Loss control is an essential issue for video transportation over IP networks. Buffer management is a traditional network technique to protecting video data against IP packet loss. In this paper, a new innovative use of packet scheduling to meet the loss constraints of video communication is proposed. A packet-scheduling scheme at a router that assures that intra and inter-stream loss requests for video transportation are met was developed and evaluated using real video data. The results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed scheme, in terms of loss performance and fairness.
