Abstract

The purpose of the work presented in this book is to analyze and improve the performance of video streaming systems operating in bandwidth-constrained networks. In particular, we consider low-latency applications where a source is serving a single receiver or where video is multicast to a population of peers. Our work builds upon recent advances which have focused on providing better compression efficiency, on increasing the robustness of video streaming systems, and on building efficient multicast architectures or peer-to-peer systems. In the following, we present an overview of the state-of-the-art in these areas.
