Abstract

This paper presents an assessment study on the use of emulation techniques to evaluate the performance of multimedia services, in particular a video streaming application. The proposed methodology exploits the emulation functionality that has been integrated into the ns-3 simulation platform, as well as virtualization techniques. We describe the requirements and the main limitations of the scheme, in order to offer an appropriate accuracy. Last, and in order to assess the feasibility of the proposed scheme and its potential, we carry out a study of various QoS parameters of a video streaming application.
