For higher streaming quality, a data sender adjusts the data transmission rate according to the network condition between the sender and receiver. The sender and the receiver exchange information about the network condition to decide the appropriate transmission rate. However, monitoring each data flow in real time is difficult, and controlling the sender to adjust the best quality for each receiver in a heterogeneous environment is a real challenge. In this paper, we study packet loss patterns

We then show our adaptive DV Transmission System (DVTS) that supports appropriate rate control for provisioning multimedia streaming with the best possible quality, and evaluate the system on top of our testbed network.
