Research Contract with Alcatel Bell “Choking of UDP traffic”

Participants : François Baccelli, Dohy Hong [ N2NSoft ] .

In 2009 we completed the third phase of a research project with the Network Strategy Group of Alcatel Antwerp (Danny de Vleeschauwer and Koen Laevens) and with N2NSoft (Dohy Hong). This project was focused on the modeling of the interaction of a large collection of multimedia sources that join and leave and that share an access network. The main objective was the design of optimal choking policies for the transport of layer encoded video in such an access networks. The third phase of the project focused on the optimal caching strategies of video chunks within this context.
