Abstract

Service availability, delay (called latency), delayvariation (called Jitter), throughput, packet loss rate or all these underlying terminologies are referring to the measurable parameters for Internet Protocol's Quality-of-Service (IP QoS). To ensure a real-time communication between server and client all these matrices have a great impact over the media communication, particularly from the end user perspective. It is known that traditional network performance measurements do not assess pre-stream impairments accurately. Therefore, Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) drafted the standard on measuring network QoS through the next generation protocol called Media Delivery Index (MDI). Based on that MDI, this paper will broadly analyze the gap of QoS between IPv4 and IPv6 of internet protocols through a video streaming application. We have done our experiments using two different operating systems (OS) with different test-bed configurations. For the performance measurement, we have captured data in hybrid network over the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Moreover, this paper will present all of our findings of the performance variations between two versions of Internet Protocols through various experimental setups.
