In general, it is essential that contents are to be provided with proper bitrate according to network conditions in order to support higher quality of video streaming services over wired and wireless networks. Recently, DASH is adopted by the MPEG as the standard for HTTP based adaptive streaming technology and consists of the server and clients. The clients should parse XML files from the server and play contents after accessing the finely divided segments into various bitrates. In this paper, we designed a Smart AP(Access Point) which exists between DASH contents server and Non-DASH clients enables provide DASH services to Non-DASH clients. In addition, proposed Smart AP provides DASH service to various types of clients as maintaining the existing environment without additional development costs.
