1. A Simulation Study of Optimal Bandwidth Allocation for VBR MPEG-4 Streaming over MPLS-Networks Project Proposal Muhammad Asif Tasleem 2004-03-0021

2. MPEG-4 over MPLS Networks A New Architecture for Transmission of MPEG-4 Video on MPLS Networks Geng Sheng Kuo, C.T. Lai  It proposes a new architecture, “Actively Reserved Bandwidth” architecture, which improves CR-LDP in the MPLS domain.  It claims treating one VOP (like I-VOP, P-VOP, B-VOP) as a unit of transmission is more efficient than treating one packet as a unit of transmission.

3. MPEG-4 over MPLS Networks A Study on the Performance Enhancements of Video Streaming Service based on MPLS Networks Joong-Min Kim, Chung-Hyun Kim  This paper compares delay, throughput and packet loss of video streaming service over IP network and MPLS network.  MPLS Network was setup using fixed bandwidth LSP.

4. Video over MPLS Networks Multi-Stream Video Transport over MPLS Networks Hang Man and Yang Li  It proposes a 3-D subband/wavelet video coder generating the source data traffic. A special feature of this video coder is that the coded bit stream can he easily segmented into sub-streams with different quality of service (QoS) requirements.  After source coding and segmentation, multiple streams are formed. Each stream is labeled with different forwarding equivalence classes (FEC).  Specific label switch paths (LSPs) are selected by the MPLS protocols to achieve the desired quality levels. The proposed scheme is studied under the metrics such as the end-to-end video delivery quality, the bandwidth consumption and the pricing of the service.

5. What I want to do? Can we transmit different layers of MPEG-4 video over different QoS based FEC of MPLS? Can we allocate bandwidth for an LSP based on peak rate, average rate and maximum burst size of the video traffic? What are the delay, throughput and packet loss comparisons with fixed bandwidth LSP? Can we perform simulations on Omnet++ or Opnet? What I don’t want to do? Don’t want to change the MPLS architecture Don’t want to suggest any source coding technique.
