Performance evaluation technique of the RTSP based streaming server

In recent years, there have been many streaming servers that provide a large number of contents for a user's preference. General purpose streaming server makes use of a RTSP protocol for streaming controls such as message passing with client players. To date, there has been minimal research regarding streaming server's performance test tools. For measuring streaming server's performance, performance evaluation technique is needed and also achieved by the RTSP controls, a server's performance result and its miscellaneous test tools such as the PseudoPlayer for pumping data to a specified port and the PseudoMonitor for gathering information. In this paper, we implement a test toolkit for evaluating a streaming server's performance and show the case of its application.
