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. In addition a number of error concealment schemes are discussed. We conclude with a series of recommendations for repair schemes to be used, based on application requirements and network conditions. 1 Introduction The development of IP multicast and the Internet multicast backbone has led to be emergence of a new class of scalable audio/video conferencing applications. These are based on the lightweight sessions model [11, 17] and provide efficient multi-way communication which scales fr...
