Simulation of a Client Server Video-on-Demand (VoD) System Using TCP Socket Factory | NS3 Project 21
Simulation of a Client Server Video-on-Demand (VoD) System Using TCP Socket Factory | NS3 Project 1. Aim To simulate a client-server Video-on-Demand (VoD) system in NS-3 using the TCP Socket Factory for reliable video stream transport and the Flow Monitor module to measure and analyse key network performance metrics including throughput, end-to-end delay, jitter, and packet loss ratio across two simultaneous client streams. 2. Introduction Video-on-Demand (VoD) is a media distribution paradigm that allows users to access video content at any time on demand. Services such as Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video rely on robust network transport protocols to stream high-quality video to end users. Simulating such systems helps network engineers understand bottleneck behaviour, TCP fairness, and QoS characteristics under controlled conditions. NS-3 (Network Simulator 3) is an open-source discrete-event network simulator widely used in academic research. It provides TCP/IP stack...
