We evaluate various representative streaming video workloads and show that the prefetch size that produces the best throughput can vary from 2 MB to 12 MB, and can depend on workload and system characteristics such as video bitrate, hard drive specifications, and memory capacity.
Experimental studies performed on certain high-speed segments of the public Internet reveal that the proposed system is able to deliver video signals at bit rates in the range of 4-9 Mbits/sec, not only within fast LANs but also, and more surprisingly, even between sites in the US and Europe.
Based on the proposed models, a video streaming framework is designed to efficiently utilize the available bandwidth in MANETs, minimize the network distortions, and improve Quality of Service (QoS).

This paper describes a transmission scheme for Internet video streaming that provides an acceptable video quality over a wide range of connection qualities.
Overall video performance is most influenced by the bandwidth of the end-user connection to the Internet, but high-bandwidth Internet connections are pushing the video performance bottleneck closer to the server.
As a result, our system provides 4K and 8K video streaming efficiently with lower latency up to 10% compared to existing approaches.

Combined with MPEG-4's support for low bitrate video, these techniques make MPEG-4 a perfect candidate for use on the Internet.
Simulations show that our optimization algorithm selects the best video bitrate according to channel condition and the amount of video stream buffered in the client to provide viewers the best possible quality while reducing the number of interruptions.
