  • Abstract
    In this paper we study the use of TCP Vegas as a transport protocol for streaming media. We also consider TCP NewReno as a transport protocol for streaming media. We find that: 1) TCP is able to transport streaming media with good performance in a wide variety of scenarios; 2) TCP Vegas performs better than TCP NewReno in many cases; and 3) for viable media streams, both TCP variants need to achieve mean throughputs that are at least 1.5 times the encoding rate of the media objects being carried.
