Comparative Analysis of Hierarchical Token Bucket and Per Connection Queue Methods in Video Conferences

Type: article
Abstract: Video conferencing is a set of interactive telecommunication technologies that allow two or more parties in different locations to interact using audio and video simultaneously. In video conferencing tools, bandwidth management is needed to maintain the quality of data transmitted through bandwidth. The Hierarchical Token Bucket (HTB) method is a method that uses a hierarchical structure and priorities for the client so that the distribution of bandwidth can be adjusted. In contrast, the Per Connection Queue (PCQ) method is a method that applies bandwidth sharing so that the allocation of bandwidth can be done more evenly to all clients. The parameters used to determine the quality of service in both methods are throughput, packet loss, delay, and jitter. The test results showed that in the Zoom application, the HTB method had an average TIPHON Standard Index of 3.5, while the PCQ method was 3.75. However, in the TrueConf application, the HTB method has a TIPHON standard index of 3.75, while the PCQ method has a TIPHON standard index of 3.5. In the TrueConf application, the HTB method is superior, while in the Zoom application, the PCQ method is superior.
