Adaptive video transmission over software defined networks

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study on the evaluation of adaptive transmission of video streams using the DASH technique on Software Defined Networks. There are also presented in this document, the description of the tools required for the implementation of the evaluation, as well as a description of the methodology used for the development of the experiments. In addition, the results of an adaptive transmission of a video by using DASH are presented. This transmission was carried out over a software defined network emulated on MININET. The results show that DASH technique easily allows to implement video streaming services that can adapt the quality of the transmission according to the resources available in the network.
