Abstract
Real-time media distribution over the Internet poses several challenging problems due to its stringent delay/loss
requirements and complex network dynamics. A promising approach to alleviate the severe impacts of these dynamics
is to transmit the media over diverse paths. For such an environment, multiple description (MD) coding has been
previously proposed to produce multiple independently decodable streams that are routed over partially link­disjoint
(non-shared) paths for combatting bursty packet losses and error propagation. However, selecting these paths
