[streaming] Video Streaming over GPRS

I found this article<http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/login.jsp?url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fiel5%2F4061132%2F4061133%2F04061201.pdf%3Fisnumber%3D4061133%26prod%3DCNF%26arnumber%3D4061201%26arSt%3D449%26ared%3D456%26arAuthor%3DGiovanni%2520Gualdi%253B%2520Rita%2520Cucchiara%253B%2520Andrea%2520Prati&authDecision=-203>

*Low-Latency Live Video Streaming over Low-Capacity Networks

Summary:This paper presents an effective system for streaming over
low-capacity networks (such as GPRS and EGPRS) of live videos with low
latency. Existing solutions are either too complex or not suitable to our
scope. For this reason, we developed a complete, ready-to-use streaming
system based on H.264/AVC codec and UDP/IP stack. The system employs
adaptive controls to achieve the best tradeoff between low latency and good
video fluency, by keeping the UDP buffer occupancy at the decoder side
between two given levels. Our experiments demonstrate that this system is
able to transmit live videos at CIF format and 10 fps over GPRS/EGPRS with
very low latency (1.73 sec on average, basically due to the network delay),
good fluency and average quality, measured with PSNR, of 31 dB on GPRS at 23
kbps at 10 fps*

So I wonder if it can be possible to reproduce this using VLC ? or Has
anyone of you already tried to stream video on such bandwidth ? (yes some
area in the world are still using GPRS for the moment :( ).

Emmanuel
