Summary:Datagram networks such as the Internet do not provide guaranteed
resources such as bandwidth or guaranteed performance measures such as
maximum delay. One way to support packet video in these networks is to
use feedback mechanisms that adapt the output rate of video coders based
on the state of the network. The authors present one such mechanism.
They describe the feedback information, and how it is used by the coder
control algorithm. They also examine how the need to operate in a
multicast environment impacts the design of the control mechanism. This
mechanism has been implemented in the H.261 video coder of IVS. IVS is a
videoconference system for the Internet developed at INRIA. Experiments
indicate that the control mechanism is well suited to the Internet
environment. In particular, it makes it possible to establish and
maintain quality videoconferences even across congested connections in
the Internet. Furthermore, it prevents video sources from swamping the
resources of the Internet, which could lead to unacceptable service to
all users of the network
