Abstract
In this demonstration we present a platform that encompasses all of the components required to realistically evaluate the performance of Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) over a real-time NS-3 simulated network. Our platform consists of a network-attached storage server with DASH video clips and a simulated LTE network which utilises the NS-3 LTE module provided by the LENA project. We stream to clients running an open-source player with a choice of adaptation algorithms. By providing a user interface that offers user parametrisation to modify both client and LTE settings, we can view the evaluated results of real-time interactions between the network and the clients. Of special interest is that our platform streams actual video clips to real video clients in real-time over a simulated LTE network, allowing reproducible experiments and easy modification of LTE and client parameters. The demonstration showcases how changes in LTE network settings (fading model, scheduler, client distance from eNB, etc.), as well as video-related decisions at the clients (streaming algorithm, quality selection, clip selection, etc.), can impact on the delivery and achievable quality.
