Improving fidelity in video streaming experimentation on testbeds with a cdn

Abstract

Video streaming is the leading network traffic on the Internet, yet there are few tools to run high fidelity experiments with video streaming traffic on network emulation-based testbeds. In this paper, we present a framework to enable higher fidelity and principled experimentation with 36 different video streaming traffic scenario combinations that can be configured and deployed on a notional CDN and data metrics infrastructure. This framework can be used to further study and experiment with adaptive bitrate algorithms and other AI/ML solutions for video delivery.
