CONGESTION CONTROL FOR A MULTIMEDIA SESSION

Congestion control is achieved by assigning flow identifiers to media flows sharing source and destination addresses. Performance measurements between a sender and a receiver and/or routers are performed and used to detect a congestion state for a flow route in a transport network. A media flow, a m...

Zusammenfassung:Congestion control is achieved by assigning flow identifiers to media flows sharing source and destination addresses. Performance measurements between a sender and a receiver and/or routers are performed and used to detect a congestion state for a flow route in a transport network. A media flow, a media rate to adapt to combat the congestion state, is identified based on the assigned flow identifiers and mapping information defining a mapping between flow routes and flow identifiers.
