Abstract

The Internet is a packet switched best effort service, which does not provide guarantees of reliability and timely packet delivery. Video streaming, requiring high bandwidth and low delay is not naturally suited for such a network. Distributed Video Streaming (DVS) takes note of this fact and attempts to provide a more reliable (and timely) way of streaming using multiple senders to stream a video to a receiver simultaneously. The essence of this approach involves utilizing path diversity of multiple senders. If a path from a sender to a receiver is congested, alternate paths are exploited to maintain the required throughput of the video stream. In this paper we report, Distributed Video Streaming using Multicast (DVSM) a research extending the protocol suggested by DVS. Many current video streaming protocols use multicast to efficiently utilize the available bandwidth of the network. DVSM operates in this vein by applying multicast to DVS thus enhancing its functionality. We discuss and evaluate modifications to the protocols and algorithms required to transition from DVS to DVSM.
