In this paper we propose an SDN based dynamic path selection for HTTP-based video streaming. MPEG-DASH is a recently proposed standard allowing rate adaptation over HTTP. On the other hand, Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new network architecture, which allows determining routes of packet flows by an external controller software. In this study we develop an optimization model aiming to obtain maximum throughput for DASH services by selecting the optimal paths for video packet flows over SDN. The simulations show that the clients in the proposed system receive better QoE in terms of video bitrate, outage duration and startup delay when compared to the clients running in Internet's best effort
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
