Suitability of the M/G/∞ Process for Modeling Scalable H.264 Video Traffic

摘要

Video represents a larger and larger portion of the traffic in Internet. H.264/AVC and its scalability extension have recently become some of the most widely accepted video coding standards. Consequently, adequate models for this traffic are very important for the performance evaluation of networks architectures and protocols. Particularly, the efficient and on-line generation of synthetic sample paths is fundamental for simulation studies. In this work, we check the suitability of the M/G/oo process for modeling the spatial and quality scalability extensions of the H.264 standard.
