Performance Enhancement of Real-Time Protocol Master of Science

Abstract

A mechanism is described for dynamic adjustment of the performance requirements of multimedia applications. The sending application uses RTP receiver reports to compute packet loss and control mechanism periodically measures the utilization. Based on these and some other metrics the control mechanism can make necessary adjustments. Several experiments have been run in order to tune and evaluate the mechanism. The results indicate that the mechanism can be applied efficiently and the performance of the RTP can be increased.
