Abstract

Transfer of videos over the Internet has increased considerably during the past decade and recent studies indicate that video services represent over half of the Internet traffic, with a growing trend. For the user-friendly operation of the Internet, it is important to distribute these videos in a proper and efficient way. However, no congestion control mechanism suitable and widely used for all kinds of video services is available. We have developed a congestion control mechanism, which is particularly suitable for long-living video traffic. The advantage of the proposed mechanism is its dual-priority nature. There is a mode for low priority traffic where the bandwidth is given away to other connections after the load level of a network exceeds a certain level. On the other hand, the real-time mode of the mechanism acquires its fair share of the network capacity. The real network tests of this study verify the proper operation of our congestion control mechanism.
