MyEvalvid_RTP: a Evaluation Framework for More Realistic Simulations of Multimedia Transmission

Recently, multimedia is a more and more important Internet service. For multimedia, Quality of service (QoS) support is a crucial requirement. To meet these QoS requirements, researchers develop specific multimedia mechanism to enhance the performance of video transmission. When they evaluate the performance of their mechanism, most researchers use simulation tools to evaluate. However, when using these simulation tools, researchers usually acquire network-level performance metrics, such as throughput. They cannot evaluate video and audio delivered quality by comparing the original and distorted video. However, using network-level performance metrics can not evaluate the delivered quality correctly. To address this issue, some researchers proposed simulation tool-sets. These simulation tool-sets can evaluate the video delivered quality well. However, they cannot evaluate the audio delivered quality. Therefore, we propose a new simulation tool-set called as MyEvalvid_RTP to achieve more realistic simulations in this paper. By MyEvalvid_RTP, researchers can evaluate both the video delivered quality and the audio delivered quality.
