Title:Network Performance Estimator with Applications to Route Selection for IoT Multimedia Applications
View PDFAbstract:Estimating the performance of multimedia traffic is important in numerous contexts, including routing and forwarding, QoS provisioning, and adaptive video streaming. This paper proposes a network performance estimator which aims at providing, in quasi real-time, network performance estimates for IoT multimedia traffic in IEEE 802.11 multihop wireless networks. To our knowledge, the proposed multimedia-aware performance estimator, or MAPE, is the first deterministic simulation-based estimator that provides real-time per-flow throughput, packet loss and delay estimates while considering inter-flow interference and multi-rate flows, typical of multimedia traffic. Our experimental results indicate that MAPE is able to provide network performance estimates that can be used by IoT multimedia services, notably to inform real-time route selection in IoT video transmission, at a fraction of the execution time when compared to stochastic network simulators. When compared to existing deterministic simulators, MAPE yields higher accuracy at comparable execution times due to its ability to consider multi-rate flows.
