The document discusses a receiver-based bandwidth sharing system (BWSS) developed by the authors to improve video streaming over TCP connections to bandwidth-limited receivers. BWSS breaks fairness among TCP flows locally to allocate more bandwidth to high priority flows like video. It allows user-specified bandwidth allocation without changes to senders or network infrastructure. Experimental results show BWSS provides a 4x reduction in pre-buffering time for video versus standard TCP and enables constant video streaming rates even during periods of access link congestion, outperforming both standard TCP and UDP solutions.
