A Survey of Packet Loss Recovery Techniques for Streaming Audio
Colin Perkins, Orion Hodson and Vicky Hardman, University College London
Abstract
We survey a number of packet loss recovery techniques for streaming audio applications operating using IP multicast. We begin with a discussion of the loss and delay characteristics of an IP multicast channel, and from this show the need for packet loss recovery. Recovery techniques may be divided into two classes: senderand receiver-based. We compare and contrast several sender-based recovery schemes: forward error correction (both media-specific and media-independent), interleaving, and retransmission.
