Uniform versus Priority Dropping for Layered Video
Sandeep Bajaj, Lee Breslau, and Scott Shenker (Xerox PARC)
In this paper, we analyze the relative merits of uniform versus
priority dropping for the transmission of layered video. We first
present our original intuitions about these two approaches, and then
investigate the issue more thoroughly through simulations and analysis
in which we explicitly model the performance of layered video
applications. We compare both their performance characteristics and
incentive properties, and find that the performance benefit of
priority dropping is smaller than we expected, while uniform dropping
has worse incentive properties than we previously believed.
