CMCD-enabled Adaptive Streaming Players Performance Testbed

• Evaluates CADLAD - a CMCD-Aware per-Device bitrate ladder construction
• Execute experiments on AWS cloud
• Configurable network attributes are
  • duration (seconds)
  • serverIngress (kbps)
  • serverEgress (kbps)
  • serverLatency (ms)
  • clientIngress (kbps)
  • clientEgress (kbps)
  • clientLatency (ms)

Note The combination of bandwidth and latency in one node is not allowed.

Requirements

• docker
• python 2.7
• jq
• AWS CLI

Guides

• Configuring the AWS CLI
• Creating a Key Pair Using Amazon EC2
• IAM Roles
• Security Group Rules

Running on AWS cloud

./run.sh --players 10xdashjscmcdTV --title stc --shaper network/network0.json --awsKey ppt-key

Monitoring in debug mode

Copy the assigned IP address from the terminal, add :5900 to the end of it and try to connect with a VNC client. Note that vnc service will be available only after initialization stage.
