Introducing VAST: a Video-Audio Streaming Tester
Abstract
We present a testing package aimed at video and audio streaming across best-effort networks like the Internet. VAST is intended to be a testing framework for protocols transporting audio-video streams across IP networks. It offers the simplicity and predictability of deterministic simulators like ns-2 combined with the testing power of real-world experiments.
