Demonstration of the Prototype of the Network Camera with Sender Initiated Congestion Control

Abstract

We demonstrate the prototype of the network camera with a multicast transport-layer protocol called Sender Initiated Congestion Control (SICC) which provides adaptive flow control for multicast methods such as Application Layer Multicast (ALM) or eXplicit multi-unicast6 (XCAST6). SICC is capable of achieving fast congestion avoidance and significantly increases throughput at receivers while still remaining TCP friendly. We verified the applicability to small appliance by implementing SICC/XCAST6 on a prototype network camera We demonstrate the prototype of network camera and receiver terminals with viewer. It shows the capability of adaptive flow control to multiple receivers with or without competing traffics.
