Video Traffic Models for RTP Congestion Control Evaluations

Overview

RFC 8593, “Video Traffic Models for RTP Congestion Control Evaluations”, is an Informational document published in May 2019 by X. Zhu, S. Mena, Z. Sarker. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document describes two reference video traffic models for evaluating RTP congestion control algorithms. The first model statistically characterizes the behavior of a live video encoder in response to changing requests on the target video rate. The second model is trace-driven and emulates the output of actual encoded video frame sizes from a high-resolution test sequence. Both models are designed to strike a balance between simplicity, repeatability, and authenticity in modeling the interactions between a live video traffic source and the congestion control module. Finally, the document describes how both approaches can be combined into a hybrid model.
