A video traffic modeling tool for simulation-based performance evaluation studies

摘要

Improvements in network infrastructures, storage capacity and computing power, along with advances in video coding technology, are enabling an increasing popularity of multimedia applications. Traffic modeling plays an important role in the performance evaluation of network architectures and protocols. In this paper, we describe a tool for video traffic modeling. A graphical user interface is presented to facilitate the process. The proposed traffic models can be easily integrated into simulation studies.
