- ORIGINALITY: This paper introduces TCP Hollywood, a new TCP variant that provides selective reliability and multi-streaming, and avoids head-of-line blocking to improve streaming video quality while being compatible with existing deployed infrastructure. SIGNIFICANCE: The paper demonstrates that, through extending rather than replacing TCP, the benefits of emerging protocols such as Google’s QUIC can be achieved in common and legacy environments where firewalls, middleboxes, proxies, and other legacy devices prevent deployment of TCP alternatives. RIGOUR: We implemented TCP Hollywood in Linux, and validated it in controlled test-beds and across the Internet. A rigorous analytical model demonstrates performance improvements in real-world scenarios.
