Abstract

Several works proposed methods to make video streaming scalable over the number of clients, avoiding the linear growth of bandwidth requirements for the media source node. Some are based on overlay networks built on top of the IP protocol and distribute content between overlay partners. In this way the clients share their bandwidth, reducing the burden on the source node. Similar to data-oriented proposals, this work breaks the media into segments which are requested from partners when available. Novel in this technique is the explicit handling of losses with a selective retransmission mechanism based on H.264 content, controlled by estimated decoding importance of packets.
