"Rivulet's technology was developed as an IP QoS solution and has since been deployed in the medical industry, moving 30Mb real-time video flows over a customer's existing IP network - without packet loss. That was a demanding QoS task and in order to meet the performance target the company developed a technology known as Rivulet Queuing (RQ) and now it is being marketed to service providers."

Real-time Applications on IP Networks: Overcoming Economic Constraints on Quality of Service
In this paper we look at the behavior of data and voice/video traffic on an IP network, and examine the tradeoff between connection quality and link utilization. We then assess a new technology, Rivulet Queuing, which overcomes the economic barrier by enabling high utilization and very high quality connections in a standard IP network environment. Lastly we present two examples illustrating the value this new technology delivers.

Effect of Rivulet Based Traffic on Existing Data
We find in this study that the introduction of either Rivulet or low latency QoS has an impact on the underlying best effort traffic. We see through the simulation results that the Rivulet impact is significantly less than the impact of QoS, because of the even bandwidth utilization Rivulet provides. While packet loss for QoS increases with utilization, Rivulet is able to carry traffic streams with almost no loss or jitter across converged networks, with only minimal impact to existing best effort traffic.
