Heterogeneous buffer size impact on UDP performance for real-time video streaming application

Abstract

Communication specifically in real-time (RTC) is a terminology which insinuates any live media transmission that occurs inside time limits. In this paper, heterogeneous buffer sizes in random are utilized on different routers and for different ranges to examine their effect on the performance of network for user datagram protocol's (UDP) video streaming application. It appeared through numerical results that packet switches heterogeneous buffer sizes as a rule influence the general performance of the network. By thinking about bigger range of buffer sizes, throughput improves but End-to-End delay also increases which is customarily not commendable for RTC applications. On the contrary, throughput decreases on account of considering low range of buffer sizes; however, End-to-End delay additionally diminishes. In this manner, the middle of the road scope of buffer sizes range from 30 to 20, recommended for ideal throughput and an adequate lower End-to-End delay.
