High-speed dual-stream transport solution for uncompressed HD video over gigabit network

The ongoing trend of next-generation services including high-definition (HD) Nicleo streaming, benefiting from greater available bandwidth is the result of recent emergence of high-speed broadband Internet. The uncompressed HD video standard SMPTE-292M is widely used to interconnect HI)TV equipments and requires about 1.5 Gbps bandwidth. In this paper we propose a dual-stream transport (DST) solution where data stream is split across two Gigabit network interfaces in order to aggregate their bandwidth using off-the-shelf network components. In addition, we propose a flow scheduling scheme to minimize the size of receiver buffer needed to absorb jitter and to improve performance. We note that the proposed solution does not require upgrades to existing network infrastructure, such as routers. Finally, the experiment results highlight the performance of our proposed implementation.
