Communication Networks

Driven by the advancement in data compression technology and increasing demand, video streaming has become one of the main services people use with the Internet. With the wide adoption of WiFi (802.11n), it is vital to analyze the performance of video streaming under different scenarios. The project will simulate video streaming with traced data on a target station in Riverbed Modeler and analyze the performance of the target station over WiFi connection under different scenarios.
