This work introduces a novel approach for the streaming distribution of hierarchically encoded MPEG-4 presentations using IP-multicast. The main achievements of this approach are: (1) it is massively scalable in terms of number of users, (2) it ensures the reception of a minimum quality of the video to everybody, (3) bursts of packet losses do not automatically lead to a sudden change of quality unlike in most other video streaming solutions, (4) it is naturally TCP friendly, (5) it is immediately deployable and does not rely on any QoS mechanism in the network. This solution is well suited to a large scale television program distribution over the Internet. Yet it is not recommended for video-conferencing and applications with user interaction because it introduces a large playing delay.
