Video Traces for Network Performance Evaluation

To obtain video trace for network performance evaluation, you can download them at Arizone State University (ASU) website. The traces have been generated from encodings of several videos of typically 60 minutes length each. ASU provide traces for videos encoded with MPEG-4 Part 2, H.261, H.263 and H.264/AVC. For MPEG-4 Part 2 traces for single layer encoded video, temporal scalable, spatial scalable (two-layer) encoded video, as well as fine grain scalable video. For H.264/AVC ASU provide traces for up to high definition resolution video.

Streaming Media System for NS-2

Goddard Streaming Media System is streaming system (client and server) that be used in the NS simulator. Goddard (named after Robert Goddard, the "Father of Modern Rocketry") is designed based on the behaviors of Real Networks streaming media and Windows Stream media, as observed in measurements studies from work at the Video Tracer project page.
