Definition
Video over IP refers to a challenging task to define standards and protocols for transmitting video over IP (Internet Protocol) networks.
Introduction
The Internet is doubtless one of the greatest success examples ever observed in the information technology world. Its evolution can be explained by two complementary views. On the one hand, advances in communication and information technologies have allowed rapid increase in transmission capacity in both wired and wireless domains. On the other hand, users are becoming more exigent and asking to transmit larger amounts of data of multiple natures. In this context, transmitting video over IP networks is particularly challenging. Indeed, at the time of design of the Internet, expected data rates seen by terminals were about a few Kbps. Later, with the advent of multimedia communications, bandwidth requirements are now measured in the order of Mbps.
The Internet operates as a packet-switched network that interconnects end nodes...
