Simulation platform for video streaming evaluation
Mario Montagud, Fernando Boronat, Vicente Vidal · International Conference on Software, Telecommunications and Computer Networks · 2010
Multimedia services have gained an increasing interest of industry and the research community over the last decade. In this paper we present an RTP-based platform for video streaming evaluation in simulated environments. We have developed a new NS-2 module providing an accurate RTP and RTCP implementation (following strictly the RFC 3550 specification) and we propose to combine it with several tools that allow the evaluation of most common video quality metrics. As RTCP feedback capabilities have been added, source-based control techniques could be tested using this platform.
