Abstract
This paper deals with the performance evaluation of handling streaming traffic in IP best effort networks using TFRC protocol. In our studies we check and discuss an influence of video on demand traffic and different network conditions on TFRC congestion control mechanism. Moreover, we check TFRC performance when it is sharing bottleneck with different versions of TCP. We illustrate our studies by simulation results performed in ns-2 simulation tool and compare results with those obtained for UDP.
