An overview of evaluation method/framework for multimedia transmission

Use of a variety of multimedia applications in Internet usage has grown up rapidly in recent years. This has stimulated the study of networking mechanisms for providing QoS guarantees. Simulators play an important role when researchers want to validate their proposed networking mechanism. In order to pursue more realistic simulations, some researchers devoted themselves to the improvement of simulators resulting in some simulation frameworks based on NS-2 and other programs. In this paper, to achieve more realistic simulations, we combined MyEvalvid_RTP with NS-2 to develop a new simulation tool-set.
