Abstract
This article describes a new dynamic re-routing method of the real-time stream on the Internet. We assume the application level routing (i.e. relay servers) of the stream here. Firstly, the selection of the initial route of the stream is discussed. The rate of the stream packet loss can be measured and utilized as the best criteria for the decision of the initial route. Secondly, The rate of the stream packet loss and the dispersion of the stream arrival time can also be applied to keep the stream transmission rate stable. Through some experiments on the Internet and also on the dedicated test network, we have obtained some optimum parameter values for use with the above mentioned control methods.
