Adaptive video streaming based on TCP/HTTP is becoming popular because of its ability to adapt to changing network conditions. We present an in-depth experimental analysis of the use of HTTP-based request-response streams for video streaming. In this scheme, video fragments are fetched by a client from the server, in smaller units called chunks, potentially via multiple parallel HTT P requests (TCP connections). A model for the achievable throughput is formulated.The model is validated by a broad range of streaming experiments, including an evaluation of TCP-friendliness.
