In this work, we describe the application of generalized multiple description (MD) source
coding architected through the usage of forward error correction (FEC) codes to achieve
robust and efficient Internet video streaming and multicast consistent with the existing
Internet architecture. We highlight the synergistic interaction between the robust source
coding and packetization strategy and an efficient as well as responsive, TCP-friendly
congestion control protocol linear increase multiplicative decrease with history (LIMD/H) to …
