Abstract: The problem of video streaming has been discussed in different articles but suffers with various problems like streaming efficiency, throughput and bandwidth utilization. To solve these issues, a bandwidth distribution algorithm is discussed, which performs route selection based on various strategies. The method identifies set of resource peers and computes routes available to reach the peers. Each route has been identified for the intermediate nodes and their up/downlink capacity using the divisive algorithm. The divisive algorithm splits the route into Internal Bandwidth Section and External Bandwidth section. For each section being identified the method computes the bandwidth distribution for each section of nodes. Based on computed bandwidth distribution factors the method selects a single route to perform video streaming. Also, the method uses the available routes using Dynamic Data Rate (DDR) Scheduling. The scheduler initiates a number of streaming process with varying data rate to maximize the channel utilization and improves the video streaming performance.
