Transmitting video over Vehicular Adhoc NETworks (VANETs) is a hard-to-manage task. This is due to VANET problems (attenuation, packet losses, changing topology, etc.) and video streaming high requirements. To find out the feasibility of video streaming over VANETs and which error resilience strategies can improve video quality, testing is necessary. A real test with hundreds of vehicles communicating to each other is not an easy to get benchmark. So, modeling vehicular networks is mandatory to predict the behavior of video streaming applications and evaluate the feasibility of deploying vehicular video services. In this paper we present a set of available software tools for VANETs and video streaming modeling. A complete experiment is drawn from scratch to illustrate the usage of these tools.
