Abstract :
In this paper, the performance of TCP-friendly generic AIMD (Additive Increase and Multiplicative Decrease) algorithms for Web-based playback and multirate multimedia applications is investigated. The necessary and sufficient TCP-friendly condition is derived, and the effectiveness and responsiveness of AIMD are studied. Due to practical implications, a Dynamic TCP-friendly AIMD (DTAIMD) algorithm is proposed. Extensive simulation results are given to verify the derived necessary and sufficient condition, and to demonstrate the performance of the proposed DTAIMD algorithm.
