TOSCANE: TOwards SCalable audiovisual communication networks

摘要

To optimally cope with heterogeneous end device capabilities and access network link dynamics, a novel integrated video streaming system is proposed. The TOSCANE system provides scalable video encoding, transmission, and quality monitoring and adaptation over wired (xDSL) and wireless (WiFi) access and residential networks. The various components of the system are designed for supporting both “Live” multicast and “on-demand” unicast video services.
