Abstract
Video streaming is an increasingly popular way to consume media content. Adaptive video streaming is an emerging delivery technology which aims to increase user QoE and maximise connection utilisation. Many implementations naively estimate bandwidth from a one-sided client perspective, without taking into account other devices in the network. This behaviour results in unfairness and could potentially lower QoE for all clients. We propose an OpenFlow-assisted QoE Fairness Framework that aims to fairly maximise the QoE of multiple competing clients in a shared network environment. By leveraging a Software Defined Networking technology, such as OpenFlow, we provide a control plane that orchestrates this functionality. The evaluation of our approach in a home networking scenario introduces user-level fairness and network stability, and illustrates the optimisation of QoE across multiple devices in a network
