Abstract

With the rising popularity of the real-time audio streaming applications, it is important, in order to support (and to charge) properly these new services, to understand and characterize the behaviour of these new applications. This paper studies the traffic associated with a specific audio streaming on-live service, the radio over the Internet, and presents some analyses and comparisons of different streaming media products. In addition, the user’s viewpoint is also taken into account, since it is ultimately the users (and their degree of satisfaction) who will decide whether a service goes to be or not successful. Finally, the study estimates the real bandwidth used by the on-line radio and examines how a cable network based on DOCSIS, have to be planned in order to be able to support this new service.
