摘要
Traditional routing in the Internet is best-effort which makes it challenging for video streaming since no throughput, jitter, delay or loss rate is guaranteed. As different paths have different characteristics, path differentiation such as multipath routing is a promising technique to be used for meeting QoS requirements of media-intensive applications. Using overlay networks different paths are offered which enable more flexibility in QoS and congestion control while the reliability of the connections is enhanced. Software Defined Networking (SDN) is known to be a promising solution to the problems of routing as it provides fine-grained control over packet handling. Relying on SDN, we propose an adaptive multipath provisioning scheme ensuring maximal bandwidth and resiliency of media transfer in overlay networks. The scheme is a time slot-based approach which dynamically finds multipaths. It relies on both active probing and traffic prediction. The experimental results confirm that a more accurate prediction together with more frequent probing lead to fewer number of path re-calculation and also indicate that the proposed scheme enhances the reliability of connections while a more balanced load is achieved in the network compared to the shortest path-based scheme.
