Short-Term Reliable Protocol for Low Latency Video Transmission

This paper presents a network protocol which has short-term reliability. This protocol is designed for image/video transmission and especially for hardware implementation. Short-term reliability means that corrupted or lost packets are retransmitted during limited time. This protocol is simpler than TCP protocol to implement in hardware and has some reliability which UDP does not have. A video transmission device with this protocol can achieve low latency and good service quality.
