Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new approach to model video traffic in networks. This approach combines modeling at both scene level and groups of picture (GoP) level using GoP classification, phase-type fitting, and Markov modeling. We illustrate the use of this model in many performance evaluation scenarios: the traffic model is compared with reference models and used to compute loss rate at network buffers, to generate artificial video traffic traces. In addition, an optimization problem is formulated to determine an optimal management scheme for the network buffer resources. Simulated annealing is adapted to solve this optimization problem. Two very rapid heuristics are also proposed for a good approximation of the optimal value. The performance of a buffer fed by multiplexed video sources is also studied.
