I want to invite anyone who is interested in Internet Video Streaming to a Bar BoF on Internet Video Streaming to be held at IETF98.
Time: Monday Oct 27th at 6:30-7:30pm CDT
Where: Columbus Tap at the Fairmont (this is the overflow hotel and is connected to the venue via the underground mall).
This is open to anyone interested so please feel free to pass this invite along. I'm told that the Columbus Tap also has a fine selection of beer!
This is a non-hosted event, meaning no free beer, but there will be great discussion of Internet video!
regards
Glenn Deen

Topic: Video Streaming eXtensions (V-SX)
Description:
Due to its size and sensitivity to network conditions, the transport of video over the Internet has highlighted a significant scalability problem for the Internet. On the belief that addressing this scalability problem requires better integration between
application transport and networking technologies and leveraging IPv6, this Bar BOF will solicit experiences of the scaling problem as perceived from different parts of the industry (network, producer, vendors).
Video is without rival the top use of Internet bandwidth, and its ever growing demand for more bandwidth easily out paces the new capacity being added both globally and regionally with no let up in sight. Users are frustrated by quality, buffering, and
stuttering problems. Video providers and access networks are investing heavily to keep up with demand. Significant work has be done at the application layer producing more efficient codecs and innovative adaptive bitrate transports like MPEG-DASH. These
access investments and application layer work have helped but they alone have not been enough.
A target of any eventual work and product is to enable video and network routing / management to work more cooperatively and efficiently to transport video. Successful approaches will need to do so in a backward compatible ways to permit exiting devices
and players to take advantage of the improved network efficiencies.
One proposed approach to dealing with issues was outlined in the Glass to Glass Internet Ecosystem BoF proposal — related drafts and mailing list information is provided below. A demonstration of GGIE will be provided during the BoF, for illustration
purposes. Discussion is expected and encouraged to range further than the specific GGIE proposal.
This will be an interactive discussion and we encourage anyone with an interest in this topic to come and share their ideas.
