Abstract

We present a construction to transmit high quality video streams, such as MPEG-video in realtime over lossy channels. To protect our messages against losses in the network during transit we use a new Forward Error Correction (FEC) scheme called Erasure Resilient Transmission (ERT). Unfortunately a lot of losses are not caused by the network itself but by buffer overflows in the receiver machine when the receiver is slower as the sender. Therefore the receiving is not done on a single machine but parallel on a cluster of workstations.
