Assessing effect of Cloud distance on end user's Quality of Experience (QoE)

In this paper, the impact on the end user's Quality of Experience (QoE) was analyzed, when videos from nearby location and long distance Clouds were accessed. In the first stage of experiment ping response of each Cloud from multiple locations were collected using Broadband and 3G/4G networks. The second stage of experiment based on the perceiving videos from different Clouds and videos having different codec, bitrate and resolution. A questionnaire was provided to users to give their experience about services for each cloud. The results show that QoE level is high when perceiving videos from local Clouds as compared to long distance clouds.
