Not All Packets Are Equal, Part 2: The Impact of Network Packet Loss on Video Quality

For pt. 1 see ibid., vol. 13, no. 1, p.70-5 (2009). In this second part of a two-part article, the authors highlight the impact that different durations of IP packet loss have on the quality of experience for IP-based video streaming services. They describe the visual impairments that result from such packet losses and present the results of testing and analysis to compare impairments for different loss durations for both MPEG-2-encoded standard and high-definition services.
