Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a rate control for high speed streaming video, which is based on scalable TCP and TEAR. Scalable TCP offers an effective and robust mechanism for bulk data transmitting in high bandwidth-delay network. However it has a big rate oscillation when transmitting video data. TEAR is a rate control protocol that emulates TCP at receivers, which is suitable for streaming video, and however it is TCP friendly and keeps the same low utilization as TCP in high-speed network environment. RDSTCP adopts TEAR idea, emulates scalable TCP at receiver. RDSTCP shifts most functions of scalable TCP to the receiver, and reduces the rate oscillation as well as keeping high link utilization. In the end, we emulate and evaluate RDSTCP performance by using NS2.
