<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi there,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am a research student trying to develop a rate-based
protocol to stream video over the internet. I have encountered an implementation
problem which I am hoping that someone from this mailing list could advise
me on. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>In a rate based transport scheme, the inter packet gap is
fixed according to the rate at which we want to deliver the packets. I do
realise that for, say, MBits/s transmission of 1000 bytes packet size, this
inter packet gap will be somewhere around milliseconds or less. But most
OSs are not able to provide that of a high timer resolution. I am only able
to obtain at most a 10ms granularity. This is certainly insufficient but I
am sure people have worked around this constraint. I was just wondering if there
is anyone on the list who could advise me on this. What is the most common
implementation technique of the timer for these rate control method? How do
I achieve MBits/s delivery rate on a Windows platform or a Linux
platform? I thank you in advance.</FONT></DIV>
