Improving a performance of MPEG video streams with different UDP variants

Abstract: The Internet Protocol is becoming a very dominant in computer network technology for video transmission. Video streaming is becoming an increasingly significant component of IP network traffic. Video streaming refers to the real-time transmission of stored video. Initially video was captured and transmitted in analog form i.e. MPEG4 frames are transmitted. Normally UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is used for Media Streaming. With increased deployment of services such as IPTV and Video on Demand (VoD), we have to take care about Quality of Service (QoS). This research work mainly putting the improved performance of different UDP variants with current UDP performance for MPEG video streams. It is found that UDP variants are far performs better as compare to UDP.
