Abstract: The fluctuant QoS( Quality of Service) of Inter net presents great challenges to design and implement theInternet real- time video streaming system. Based on the end- system, the authors pr opose an end- to- end I nternet video streaming ar chitecture and a rate adaptive video sureaming protocol( SAVSP), and a packet loss rate algorithm based on Gilbert Model is also put forward in this paper . Exper iments show that the video streaming architecture is practical, and the SAVSP protocol outperforms the prevalent AIMD pr otocol.

Key words: video streaming, video compression, video transmission, SAVSP protocol, Internet channel model
