Abstract
The increasing number of multimedia users on networks entails an exponential growth in the demand for bandwidth. End users and applications pose increasing demands on Traffic Engineering, QoS and QoE of video-based products. This paper reports an experimental study of multicast video traffic in an actual laboratory network, in a controlled environment, as a testbed, with IEEE 802.11ac IPv6 wireless clients. Experiments were conducted using a Star Trek movie trailer. Alternatively, for contrast purposes, a video of equal length taken from a video conference on Adobe Connect was used. The videos were coded using H.264, H.265, VP8 and Theora. This study is the sequel to an earlier experimental study conducted on video traffic for wired networks. The main conclusions seek to guide and help simulation analysts, network administrators, designers and planners in determining the best settings to take into account in order to properly manage similar networks, efficiently using available resources without compromising the expected quality and performance levels.
