| Summary: | The distribution of digitized video data, whether on-demand or streaming, is rising tremendously
among Internet users in Malaysia especially in areas such as education, communication and television
broadcasting. Based on this progression, a research has been conducted to study the relationship
between network performance and the quality of video data streamed in FTMM, KUiTTHO local area
network. Different types of content and category of video data are streamed to the network which is
equipped with LAN 100Base T technology. To achieve the objective, experimental approach is
applied to different types of video content namely lecture clips, movie clips and music clips. The
quality of transmitted video data is very much depended on two main factors which are packet delay
and packet loss. Based on the experiment that has been conducted, packet delay is caused by network
traffic condition, video content, LAN architecture, hardware and transmission medium used. In
addition to this, the experiment also has shown that packet loss is caused by data burst. This situation
happened when packet queue is overloading the router. This research confirms that video streaming
quality can be upgraded with the use of better communication medium such as fiber optic, the
exploitation of up-to-date network hardware, the utilization of bigger capacity hard disk and finally
with the use of smaller window scale in displaying the video content. |
