Multipath protocol for delay-sensitive traffic

摘要: Delay-sensitive Internet traffic, such as live streaming video, voice over IP, and multimedia teleconferencing, requires low end-to-end delay in order to maintain its interactive nature. In recent years, the popularity of delay-sensitive applications has been rapidly growing. This paper provides a protocol that minimizes experienced by inelastic traffic. We take known convex optimization formulation problem use an decomposition derive simple distributed provably converges optimum. Through multipath routing, our can achieve optimal load balancing well increased robustness. By carrying out packet level simulations with realistic topologies, feedback delays, link capacities, traffic loads, we show is adaptive robust. Our results demonstrate performs significantly better than other techniques shortest path routing or equal splitting among multiple paths.
