demo: TCP for video streaming over wireless

by admin on February 11th, 2010


This demo highlights the limitation of TCP for supporting video streaming over wireless, in the presence of heterogeneous link speeds. The setup mimics a wireless home network with several nodes operating in 802.11 ad-hoc mode. We demonstrate the impact of a file transfer session over a slow link on an ongoing video streaming session over a fast link. TCP leads to approximately equal throughput for both sessions, despite difference in their link speed, causing severe quality degradation of the video stream.
