The design of efficientunicastIn ternetvideo playback applications requires proper integration of encoding techniques with transport mechanisms. Because of the mutual dependency between the encoding technique and the transport mechanism, design of such applications has proven to be a challenging problem. This paper presents an architecture which allows the joint design of a transport-aware video encoder with an encoding-aware transport. We argue that layered encoding provides maximum flexibility for efficientt ransportof video streams over the Internet. We describe how off-line layered encoding techniques can achieve robustness againstimprecise knowledge aboutc hannel behavior (i.e., bandwidth and loss rate) while maximizing efficiency for a given transport mechanism. Then, we present our prototyped client-server architecture, and describe key components of the transport mechanism and their design issues. Finally, we describe how encoding-specific information is utilized by transport mechanisms for efficient delivery of stored layered video despite variations in channel behavior.
