## Abstract Depending on the flexibility in controlling the transmission rate and the differences between on‐line (real time) and off‐line transmission modes, multimedia applications can potentially include a wide range of services, with the traditional stringent quality‐of‐service (QoS) requiremen

✦ Synopsis
This paper presents an algorithm for network bandwidth sharing using explicit rate feedback, the Fair Intelligent Bandwidth Allocation (FIBA) for transporting rate-adaptive video traffic. We show that the FIBA algorithm is capable of allocating bandwidth fairly for a given fairness criteria, among competitive, rate-adaptive video sources. The algorithm is able to reallocate smoothly when a new connection is admitted or when there is renegotiation of the minimum guaranteed cell rate by some connections, or when a connection is throttled somewhere earlier along the connection path. Furthermore, it can prevent congestion, especially during the initial periods when buffer queues can build up significantly.

While existing research shows that feedback-based congestion control mechanisms are capable of providing better video quality and higher link utilization for rate-adaptive packet video, there has been relatively little study on how to share network bandwidth among competing rate-adaptive video conne
