Abstract :
We present a streaming media test bed for IP networks. Besides a streaming server and a streaming media client, it consists of an IP network emulator, a high-performance packet capture device and a packet flow regenerator enabling repeatable performance measurements of streaming media applications and network QoS mechanisms in a controlled environment. Some initial results from the work involved in verifying the performance of the packet regenerator are also presented
