Project details
Project astract The Internet has been, up to now, mainly transporting elastic traffic, i.e., data carried over TCP,<br/>whose congestion control mechanisms adapt the sender rate to the actual network congestion.<br/>The explosion of large scale P2P streaming applications for the distribution of high-definition<br/>or high quality video will require the transportation of very large volumes of traffic with realtime<br/>(or soft real-time) constraints. This has a potentially disruptive impact on the transport<br/>infrastructure. The NAPA-WINE project starts from the consideration that a deep<br/>understanding of the impact on the transport network of a massive deployment of these<br/>applications is pretty urgent, in light of the tremendous effect that these new systems could<br/>have.<br/>In what follows, we refer to systems for the distribution of video corresponding to high<br/>volume of traffic with the term P2P-high-quality TV (P2P-HQTV), regardless of the video<br/>being real high-definition TV or simply high-quality video (in both cases generating high<br/>volumes of traffic), and we use the term P2P-TV whenever we do not restrict our attention to<br/>applications generating high volumes of traffic.
