AutoRec通过动态调整策略,降低直播丢包恢复延迟,无需客户端改动。

AutoRec: Accelerating Loss Recovery for Live Streaming in a Multi-Supplier Market

  • 基于流量模式切换特性,动态优化丢包重传策略
  • 实测可将恢复延迟降低40%,且控制重传开销
  • 适合对延迟敏感的直播场景,尤其适用于多供应商CDN

由于CDN厂商在多供应商市场中难以同时升级服务器端和客户端的容错机制,当前大规模直播服务仍采用仅需服务器端修改的ARQ恢复范式。本文通过对高达5000万条直播流的大规模测量发现,网络丢包具有动态特性,直播常出现频繁的启停模式切换。研究进一步表明,普遍存在的重传丢包导致恢复延迟显著增加,严重影响用户体验(如视频卡顿)。为此,我们提出增强型恢复机制AutoRec,巧妙利用启停模式切换的特性,将其转化为降低恢复延迟的优势,且无需客户端修改。AutoRec支持用户自定义开销容忍度与恢复延迟容忍度,能随网络环境自适应调整策略,在保障延迟达标的同时控制资源开销。我们在QUIC协议上实现AutoRec,通过测试床与真实商业服务部署验证。实验结果表明其具备实际可行性和显著效益。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Due to the limited permissions for upgrading dualside (i.e., server-side and client-side) loss tolerance schemes from the perspective of CDN vendors in a multi-supplier market, modern large-scale live streaming services are still using the automatic-repeat-request (ARQ) based paradigm for loss recovery, which only requires server-side modifications. In this paper, we first conduct a large-scale measurement study with up to 50 million live streams. We find that loss shows dynamics and live streaming contains frequent on-off mode switching in the wild. We further find that the recovery latency, enlarged by the ubiquitous retransmission loss, is a critical factor affecting live streaming's client-side QoE (e.g., video freezing). We then propose an enhanced recovery mechanism called AutoRec, which can transform the disadvantages of on-off mode switching into an advantage for reducing loss recovery latency without any modifications on the client side. AutoRec allows users to customize overhead tolerance and recovery latency tolerance and adaptively adjusts strategies as the network environment changes to ensure that recovery latency meets user demands whenever possible while keeping overhead under control. We implement AutoRec upon QUIC and evaluate it via testbed and real-world commercial services deployments. The experimental results demonstrate the practicability and profitability of AutoRec.
