Enhanced RTP-based tool-set for video streaming simulation using NS-2
Fernando Boronat, Mario Montagud, Vicente Vidal · 2010
This paper presents an accurate simulation framework for video streaming evaluation. We have designed a full RTP/RTCP implementation for NS-2 and we propose to combine it with several multimedia tools to obtain an RTP-based tool-set that allows the measurement of network-level QoS and most common video quality metrics. As RTCP feedback reporting capabilities have been provided, researchers and practitioners could make us of this platform to assess novel source and receiver-based techniques for improving the QoS in multimedia streaming services.
