
Simple network, complex end-terminals
• Computer based
• End-to-end argument
 How about other networks?

Technologies/Applications change fast, but
The fundamental design philosophy of data communication
networks, in particular, the Internet, has no significant change,
nor will change in the near future
- dramatic change in the application/user level
- slow change in the network access level
- little change in the network core level (except for bandwidth increase)
- difficulty in change ?
- should not change ?
- are we studying old stuff ?
No. It’s the state-of-the-art and the (at least, near) future
Then what’s the “real” old stuff ?

Case study: Multimedia Networking
Key issue: Media Streaming:
 Media (audio/video) at source
 transmitted to client
 streaming: client playout begins
before all data has arrived
CMPT771 Introduction

Streaming Multimedia: What’s it ?
time
streaming: at this time, client
playing out early part of video,
while server still sending later
part of video
CMPT771 Introduction
45
MM Networking Applications
Classes of MM applications:
1) Streaming stored audio
and video (YouTube,
GoogleVideo …)
2) Streaming live audio and
video (IPTV, P2PTV)
3) Real-time interactive
audio and video (Online
game, distance learning)
Jitter is the variability
of packet delays within
the same packet stream
Fundamental
characteristics:
 Typically delay sensitive


end-to-end delay
delay jitter
 But loss tolerant:
infrequent losses cause
minor glitches
 Opposite to data, which
are loss intolerant but
delay tolerant.

CMPT771 Introduction
47
(1) Streaming Stored Multimedia: Interactivity
 VCR-like functionality: client can
pause, rewind, FF, push slider bar
 10 sec initial delay OK
 1-2 sec until command effect OK
 RTSP often used (more later)
 timing constraint for still-to-be
transmitted data: in time for playout
CMPT771 Introduction
48
(2) Streaming Live Multimedia
Examples:
 Internet radio talk show
 Live sporting event
Streaming
 playback buffer
 playback can lag tens of seconds after
transmission
 still have timing constraint
Interactivity
 fast forward impossible
 rewind, pause possible!
CMPT771 Introduction
49
(3) Interactive, Real-Time Multimedia
 applications: IP telephony,
video conference, distributed
interactive worlds
 end-end delay requirements:
 audio: < 150 msec good, < 400 msec OK
• includes application-level (packetization) and network
delays
• higher delays noticeable, impair interactivity
 session initialization

how does callee advertise its IP address, port
number, encoding algorithms?

Multimedia applications:
network audio and video
(“continuous media”)
QoS
network provides
application with Qualityof-Service needed for
application to function.
CMPT771 Introduction
51
Internet: Vehicle for Media Distribution
 Heterogeneous network
 Protocols, routing, links, network technologies, end-hosts,
bandwidth, delay, etc
 Best effort service
 Available BW is unknown and variable
 Loss rate and loss pattern are unknown and variable
 Resources are shared
 TCP/IP is the dominating protocol stack
CMPT771 Introduction

CMPT771 Introduction
53
The Reality
 Rapid growth of multimedia streaming
 Popularity of the Web and the Internet
 High-bandwidth access (Cable, DSL, LAN)
 High overhead imposed on the Internet
 Long, high-bandwidth streams
 Unfriendly to traditional TCP traffic
 Poor and inconsistent quality of streams
 Small picture size
 Low frame rate
 Fluctuation in quality
CMPT771 Introduction
54
How should the Internet evolve to
better support multimedia?
1. Laissez-faire
 no major changes
 more bandwidth when
needed
3. Differentiated services
philosophy:
 Fewer changes to Internet
infrastructure, yet provide
1st and 2nd class service.
2. Integrated services
philosophy:
 Fundamental changes in
Internet so that apps can
reserve end-to-end
bandwidth
