Abstract

Today, a steadily increasing number of users are not just passively consuming Internet content, but also share and publish content. Users publish text, photos and videos. With the availability of 5G high-speed, low-latency mobile broadband networks, real-time video streaming will also be possible. We believe this will become a very popular application in the coming years. But the more popular a service is, the higher the need for resilience. In this paper, we introduce our work-in-progress live video streaming platform for future mobile edge computing scenarios, which makes use of MPTCP+IPv6 to support multi-homing for resilience and multi-path transport for load balancing. As a proof of concept, we will show that the platform is (1) compatible with IPv6, (2) utilizes load balancing when possible and (3) provides robustness by network redundancy.

This work has been funded by the NSFC of China (No. 61363008/61662020), CERNET NGI Technology Innovation Project (No. NGII20160110) and the Research Council of Norway (Forskingsrådet) (prosjektnummer 208798/F50).

The authors would like to thank Ted Zimmerman for his comments.
