We take the position that it is time to revisit and challenge the dogma that TCP is undesirable for audio and video streaming. We contend that new compression practices and reduced storage costs make TCP a viable and attractive basis for streaming stored content. Our approach has much in common with the recent proliferation of work on TCP-friendly streaming, but using TCP itself poses distinct challenges and provides several advantages. To support our position, this paper describes an architecture for content preparation and delivery intended to demonstrate effective streaming of stored content over TCP. We present preliminary results from implementing a QoS-adaptive video system based on the proposed architecture, and describe our ongoing work on streaming.
