Providing QoS and Resiliency for Video Streaming Over MPTCP

The performance of Internet applications can be improved by using multipath transport protocols such as Multipath TCP (MPTCP), which leverages aggregated bandwidth from multiple paths for improved throughput. MPTCP can be utilized to apply Quality of Service (QoS) and address network resiliency in o...

description The performance of Internet applications can be improved by using multipath transport protocols such as Multipath TCP (MPTCP), which leverages aggregated bandwidth from multiple paths for improved throughput. MPTCP can be utilized to apply Quality of Service (QoS) and address network resiliency in order to increase the Quality of Experience (QoE) of video streaming applications. This paper introduces a novel approach for providing service differentiation to video streaming clients across different classes, while ensuring robust communication to mitigate link failures. The proposed method aims to deliver seamless streaming sessions by enhancing resilience and maintaining QoS under challenging network conditions. We evaluate the proposed approach using Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH), a widely used video streaming application that delivers high-quality media content over the Internet. The aim is to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach by focusing on user groups belonging to different service classes, each with varying QoE requirements. Additionally, we assess the resiliency of the proposed algorithm in scenarios involving subflow failures within the MPTCP connection. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms alternative methods in maintaining network connectivity and sustaining a high level of QoE, even in the event of subflow disconnections.
