− | In this paper we experimentally evaluate the Google Congestion Control (GCC) which has been recently proposed in the RTCWeb IETF WG. By setting up
| |
− | a controlled testbed, we have evaluated to what extent GCC flows are able to track the available bandwidth, while minimizing queuing delays, and fairly share the bottleneck with other GCC or TCP flows. We have found that the algorithm works as expected when a GCC flow accesses the bottleneck in isolation, whereas it is not able to provide a fair bandwidth utilization when a GCC flow shares the bottleneck with either a GCC or a TCP flow.

− | <b> Cisco Award 2013 </b> Funded by "Cisco University Research Program" managed by the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.This proposal aims at designing a robust, efficient and scalable control system for adaptive (live) video streaming over the best-effort Internet. The first part of the proposal will investigate, using a rigorous mathematical control approach, the advantage of designing a server-side with respect to a client-side adaptation method such as the one supported by Apple, Akamai or Microsoft IIS. The mathematical model will take into account propagation delays that play a critical role in such control system and it will be rigorous and yet simple so that it will provide a tool for easy designing and tuning of the control. The second part of the proposal will implement the adaptive video streaming system first on a single server located in our lab and then in a Amazon EC2 cloud or a ""Cisco Multimedia Cloud"" aiming at further deployment in production networks.

| |
− | In this paper, we present a model of the automatic video stream-switching employed by Akamai along with a description of the client-side communication and control protocol. From the control architecture point of view, the automatic adaptation is achieved by means of two interacting control loops having the controllers at the client and the actuators at the server: one loop is the buffer controller, which aims at steering the client playout buffer to a target length by regulating the server sending rate; the other one implements the stream-switching controller and aims at selecting the video level. A detailed validation of the proposed model has been carried out through experimental measurements in an emulated scenario.
