Abstract

It is well known that congestion control is a key issue for the safe deployment of multimedia applications over IP. We describe our initial experiences implementing TCP-friendly congestion control in a system designed to deliver HDTV content over IP networks. In particular we discuss the effects of packet reordering on the calculated throughput, and highlight the problems this can pose for high-rate applications.
