In this paper, performance analysis of video traffic shaper for Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) video traffic in on ATM network are investigated. Traffic shaping for MPEG video traffic is proposed as a traffic control function in ATM networks. The proposed shaper smoothes video traffics by controling the output rate of the buffer, which is placed in an MPEG source, according to I,B,P frame sequences of MPEG. In performance analysis of an video traffic shaper, a periodic botch arrival model is suggested to describe cell streams in a frame of MPEG video traffic. The queueing model which has periodic independent botch arrival and periodic deterministic service time is used to obtain the cell loss ratio, the mean cell delay, and the measure of smoothing effect. Simulation results are used to validate this queueing model. The cell loss performance of ATM multiplexer is measured by simulation study with real MPEG-1 data. From the viewpoint of traffic load, the cell loss ratio is observed to be considerably high, which is considered to result from the burstiness of MPEG video traffic. As a result, it is shown that the shaping decreases cell loss ratio of multiplexer. The results of this paper can be employed to establish a basic guideline in the implementation of a traffic control scheme and the design of ATM multiplexer for MPEG video traffic.

Increase of hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)-based video popularity causes that broadband and Internet service providers' links transmit mainly multimedia content. Network planning, traffic engineering or congestion control requires understanding of the statistical properties of network traffic; therefore, it is desirable to investigate the characteristic of traffic traces generated, among others, by systems which employ adaptive bit-rate streaming. In our work, we investigate traffic originating from 120 client-server pairs, situated in an emulated laboratory environment, and multiplexed onto a single network link. We show that the structure of the traffic is distinct from the structure generated by first and second generation of HTTP video systems, and furthermore, not similar to the structure of general Internet traffic. The obtained traffic exhibits negative correlations, anti-persistence, and its distribution function is skewed to the right. Furthermore, we show that the traffic generated by clients employing the same or similar play-out strategies is positively correlated and synchronised (clustered), whereas traffic originated from different play-out strategies shows negative or no correlations.

With growing applications of wireless video streaming, an efficient video traffic model featuring modern high-compression techniques is more desirable than ever, because the wireless channel bandwidths are ever limited and time-varying. We propose a modeling and analysis method for video traffic by a class of stochastic processes, which we call '$GEO^Y/G/{\infty}$ input processes'. We model video traffic by $GEO^Y/G/{\infty}$ input process with gamma-distributed batch sizes Y and Weibull-like autocorrelation function. Using four real-encoded, full-length video traces including action movies, a drama, and an animation, we evaluate our modeling performance against existing model, transformed-M/G/${\infty}$ input process, which is one of most recently proposed video modeling methods in the literature. Our proposed $GEO^Y/G/{\infty}$ model is observed to consistently provide conservative performance predictions, in terms of packet loss ratio, within acceptable error at various traffic loads of interest in practical multimedia streaming systems, while the existing transformed-M/G/${\infty}$ fails. For real-time implementation of our model, we analyze G/D/1/K queueing systems with $GEO^Y/G/{\infty}$ input process to upper estimate the packet loss probabilities.

ATM 망에서 MPEG 비디오 스트림은 CBR과 VBR 서비스를 이용하여 전송한다. 그러나 MPEG 스트림 트래픽은 시간에 따라 크게 변하는 특성을 가지고 있어 대역폭을 낭비하지 않고 효율적으로 전송하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 지금까지 하나의 MPEG 비디오 스트림의 트래픽 특성 및 제어에 대한 연구는 많은 연구자들에 의해 이루어져왔지만 여러 개의 MPEG 비디오 스트림이 다중화기에 의해 다중화된 트래픽의 특성 및 제어에 대한 연구는 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 다중화기에 의해 다중화된 트래픽의 가변성 및 최대 셀 전송률을 줄이기 위한 다중화 방법을 제안한다. 다중화 트래픽의 최대 셀 전송률을 줄임으로써 이러한 트래픽을 가능한 대역폭의 낭비를 줄이면서 효율적으로 전송할 수 있게 된다.

Users quite often experience volatile channel conditions which negatively influence multimedia transmission. HTTP adaptive streaming has emerged as a new promising technology where the video quality can be adjusted to variable network conditions. Nevertheless, the new technology does not remain without drawbacks. As it has been observed, multiple video players sharing the same network link have often problems with achieving good efficiency and stability of play-out due to a mutual interference and competition among video players. Our investigation indicates that there may be another cause for under-performance of the streamed video. In an emulated environment, we implemented three algorithms of adaptive video play-out based on bandwidth or buffer assessment. As we show, traffic generated by players employing the same or similar play-out strategies is positively correlated and synchronised (clustered), whereas traffic originated from different play-out strategies shows negative or no correlations. However, when some of the parameters of the play-out strategies are randomised, the correlation and synchronisation diminish what has a positive impact on the smoothness of the traffic and on the video quality perceived by end users. Our research shows that non-correlated traffic flows generated by play-out strategies improve efficiency and stability of streamed adaptive video.

The increasing popularity of HTTP adaptive video streaming services has dramatically increased bandwidth requirements on operator networks, which attempt to shape their traffic through Deep Packet inspection (DPI). However, Google and certain content providers have started to encrypt their video services. As a result, operators often encounter difficulties in shaping their encrypted video traffic via DPI. This highlights the need for new traffic classification methods for encrypted HTTP adaptive video streaming to enable smart traffic shaping. These new methods will have to effectively estimate the quality representation layer and playout buffer. We present a new machine learning method and show for the first time that video quality representation classification for (YouTube) encrypted HTTP adaptive streaming is possible. The crawler codes and the datasets are provided in [43,44,51]. An extensive empirical evaluation shows that our method is able to independently classify every video segment into one of the quality representation layers with 97% accuracy if the browser is Safari with a Flash Player and 77% accuracy if the browser is Chrome, Explorer, Firefox or Safari with an HTML5 player.

최근 비쥬얼 센서 기술의 발달로 센서 네트워크에 영상을 추가하기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 비쥬얼 센서는 다른 센서 정보에 비해 데이터가 크기 때문에 데이터의 크기를 효율적으로 관리하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 효과적인 데이터 관리에 필요한 비디오 트래픽 예측 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 비디오 센서에서 획득되는 영상의 특성을 반영하여 1차 AR 모델로 비디오 트래픽을 모델링하고 칼만필터 알고리즘을 적용하여 트래픽을 예측한다. 제안하는 방법은 계산량이 많지 않아 센서 노드에 적용되기 적합하다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 방법이 비교적 간단한 형태이지만 전체 평균 트래픽의 1% 이내로 오차로 정확하게 트래픽을 예측하는 것을 보여준다.

Many recent studies have been conducted involving the transport of constant and variable bit rate MPEG-2 video in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. In this study, the traffic control of supporting MPEG-2 video communications in ATM networks under unloaded or loaded network conditions, in which the generated traffic sources are bursty in nature, are considered. We analyse about MPEG-2 traffic and design a model, which makes use of the ATM OAM funcation in order to support the traffic control functions. To implement the model, we propose a scheme, which combines the performance management OAM function and the bandwidth allocation function. Especially, we design this scheme to control the VBR (Variable Bit Rate)MPEG-2 video traffic.

This paper applies WiMedia UWB network into a wireless ship area network (WSAN) so as to support high-quality multimedia services on board and reliable instrument control information as well, since the need for mixed high-quality video traffic and shipboard control data traffic is essential for a high-cost valued digital ship. Thus, in this paper, prioritized contention access (PCA) and distributed reservation protocol (DRP) based on WiMedia UWB (ECMA-368) MAC protocols are combined and proposed to such mixed traffic environment, by varying the portions of superframe according to traffic type. It is shown that the proposed WiMedia UWB MAC protocol can provide reliable mixed video and shipboard control data traffic as well.
