Abstract

Rapid delay variations in today’s access networks impair the QoE of low-latency, interactive applications, such as video conferencing. To tackle this problem, we propose Athena, a framework that correlates high-resolution measurements from Layer 1 to Layer 7 to remove the fog from the window through which today’s video-conferencing congestion-control algorithms see the network. This cross-layer view of the network empowers the networking community to revisit and re-evaluate their network designs and application scheduling and rate-adaptation algorithms in light of the complex, heterogeneous networks that are in use today, paving the way for network-aware applications and application-aware networks.
