In-Network Scalable Video Adaption Using Big Packet Protocol

Abstract

The essence of this work is to show how SVC Scalable Video can be adaptated in the network in an effective way, when the Big Packet Protocol (BPP) is used. This demo shows the advantages of BPP, which is a recently proposed transport protocol devised for real-time applications. We will show that in-network adaption can be provided using this new protocol. We show how a network node can change the packets during their transmission, but still present a very usable video stream to the client. The preliminary results show that BPP is a good alternative transport for video transmission.
