Overview

Shows how to model the aggregate traffic of many multiplexed H.264/AVC videoconference streams with a simple Discrete Autoregressive model built from per-stream statistics.

Key contributions

• Fits single H.264 streams against common distributions and identifies Pearson type V as the best fit.
• Builds a DAR(1) model that accurately reproduces queueing delay and packet loss of multiplexed sources at loads from 5% to 85%.

Abstract

In this correspondence, we initially investigate the statistical behavior of bursty video traffic originating from single H.264/AVC streams, by modeling it with well-known distributions. Our results help to build a Discrete Autoregressive model which captures well the behavior of multiplexed H.264/AVC videoconference sources.
