The use of real-time applications over the Internet is a challenging problem that the QoS epoch attempted to solve by proposing the DiffServ architecture. Today, the only existing service provided by the Internet is still best-effort. As a result, multimedia applications often perform on top of a transport layer that provides a variable sending rate. In an obvious manner, this variable sending rate is an issue for these applications with strong delay constraint. In a real-time context where retransmission can not be used to ensure reliability, video quality suffers from any packet losses. In this position paper, we discuss this problem and motivate why we want to bring out a certain class of erasure coding scheme inside multimedia congestion control protocols such as TFRC.
