Abstract

Packet video and voice are the dominant traffic sources in today’s Internet. Numerous studies have dealt with the influence of packet loss on video and voice quality. We elaborate on the root causes of packet loss in the Internet and show by statistical methods how that affects the quality of transmitted real-time data. We evaluate the mean number of lost packets and the distribution of bit loss as quality indices of packet transmission at a bottleneck link with insufficient bandwidth. The latter information regarding the risk to lose packets for a known bandwidth of a bottleneck link can be transferred to customers.
