Proceedings ArticleDOI
An experimental evaluation of rate-adaptation algorithms in adaptive streaming over HTTP
TL;DR: This paper focuses on the rate-adaptation mechanisms of adaptive streaming and experimentally evaluates two major commercial players (Smooth Streaming, Netflix) and one open source player (OSMF).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
What happens when HTTP adaptive streaming players compete for bandwidth
TL;DR: This paper describes how the typical behavior of an adaptive streaming player in its Steady-State, which includes periods of activity followed by periods of inactivity (ON-OFF periods), is the main root cause behind the problems listed above.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Server-based traffic shaping for stabilizing oscillating adaptive streaming players
TL;DR: This work proposes a server-based traffic shaping method that can significantly reduce oscillations in Steady-State players without significant (or any) loss in bandwidth utilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental evaluation of rate-adaptive video players over HTTP
TL;DR: A new adaptation algorithm is proposed, referred to as AdapTech Streaming, which aims to address the problems with the previous three players of adaptive streaming and experimentally evaluates two major commercial players and one open-source player.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The evolution of layered protocol stacks leads to an hourglass-shaped architecture
TL;DR: In this article, an abstract model for studying protocol stacks and their evolution is proposed, called EvoArch, based on a few principles about layered network architectures, where protocols acquire value based on their higher layer applications and compete with other protocols at the same layer.
