The challenge for content developers and network managers is to improve the performance of high-bit-rate multimedia applications over relatively slow TCP/IP networks. In this article, problems with multimedia traffic over TCP/IP networks are discussed as well as solutions to these problems. Several characteristics of TCP/IP networks may cause problems for multimedia traffic. These include the protocols themselves, latency, bandwidth capacity, and response time. One way to alleviate the scarcity of bandwidth is using some form of active queueing technique, e.g. priority queueing, custom queueing, or weighted fair queueing.
