Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to streaming a video from a sending endpoint to a receiving endpoint. Both of the sending endpoint and the receiving endpoint have multiple communication channels connecting the sending endpoint and the receiving endpoint to one or more networks, respectively, and the streaming video includes a plurality of intra-frame coded frames and a plurality of inter-frame coded frames. The sending endpoint sends different ones of the plurality of intra-frame coded frames and different ones of high priority inter-frame coded frames to the receiving endpoint over more than one of the multiple communication channels having a connection-oriented protocol. In addition, the sending endpoint sends different ones of non-high priority inter-frame coded frames to the receiving endpoint over more than one of the multiple communication channels having a connectionless-oriented protocol.
