We evaluate the impact of network, and protocol heterogeneity on real-time application performance. We focus on TCP and UDP supportive role, also in the context of network stabili...
We present TFWC, a TCP-friendly window-based congestion control mechanism for real-time multimedia streaming applications. Although TFRC is regarded as a de facto standard for tho...
