Simulation and Analysis of Packet Loss in User Datagram Protocol Transfers

摘要

Understanding packet loss patterns in Internet Protocol (IP) networks is important for achiev- ing the desired quality of service in multimedia transfers. In this paper, we study the loss patterns in video transfers using User Datagram Protocol (UDP) in a congested packet network. We use trace-driven ns-2 simulations to collect packet loss traces in networks, and we apply wavelet analysis to investigate the behavior of packet loss on various time-scales.
