Simulation is an important technique to test and verify routing protocol correctness. However, simulation does not guarantee that the protocol works expectedly on a real world environment because it needs to rely on assumptions and simplified properties such as radio characteristics and effects of geographical constraints that may not reflect the real world networking environments. Therefore, a real world experiments are necessary to gain a practical insight into the actual performance of ad hoc networks. In this paper, we build a test-bed to evaluate multi-hop ad hoc networks for high speed video streaming inside a building using AODV-UU routing protocol. Our observation indicates that the considered ad hoc network can provide a sufficient performance for a low rate streaming data in terms of throughput, PDR (Packet delivery ratio) and the average delay.
