Swissotel
New Location: St. Gallen 1/2– this is on the 2nd floor of the Swissotel.
Time: Monday Oct 27th at 6:30-7:30pm CDT

Topic: Video Streaming eXtensions (V-SX)
Description:
Due to its size and sensitivity to network conditions, the transport of video
over the Internet has highlighted a significant scalability problem for the
Internet. On the belief that addressing this scalability problem requires
better integration between application transport and networking technologies
and leveraging IPv6, this Bar BOF will solicit experiences of the scaling
problem as perceived from different parts of the industry (network, producer,
vendors).
Video is without rival the top use of Internet bandwidth, and its ever growing
demand for more bandwidth easily out paces the new capacity being added both
globally and regionally with no let up in sight. Users are frustrated by
quality, buffering, and stuttering problems. Video providers and access
networks are investing heavily to keep up with demand. Significant work has be
done at the application layer producing more efficient codecs and innovative
adaptive bitrate transports like MPEG-DASH. These access investments and
application layer work have helped but they alone have not been enough.
A target of any eventual work and product is to enable video and network
routing / management to work more cooperatively and efficiently to transport
video. Successful approaches will need to do so in a backward compatible ways
to permit exiting devices and players to take advantage of the improved network
efficiencies.
One proposed approach to dealing with issues was outlined in the Glass to Glass
Internet Ecosystem BoF proposal — related drafts and mailing list information
is provided below. A demonstration of GGIE will be provided during the BoF,
for illustration purposes. Discussion is expected and encouraged to range
further than the specific GGIE proposal.
This will be an interactive discussion and we encourage anyone with an interest
in this topic to come and share their ideas.
