Abstract

This paper presents a full video delivery network monitoring suite. Our monitoring tool offers a new view of a video delivery network, a view based on the quality perceived by final users. We measure, in real time and automatically, the perceived quality at the client side by means of the recently proposed PSQA technology. Moreover, we improve PSQA's efficiency and robustness for video analysis by studying the flows at the frame level, instead of the packet level previously considered in the literature. The developed monitoring suite is a completely free-software application, based on well-known technologies such as the Simple Network Management Protocol or the Round Robin Databases, which can be executed in various operating systems. In this paper we explain the tool implementation and we present some of the first experimental measurements performed with it.
