Popis: Due to the fact that video streaming is the current "killer" application and for competitiveness, telecommunication service providers need to be able to answer a fundamental question: to which extent is the available network infrastructure able to successfully provide users with a satisfactory experience when running video streaming applications? Answering this question is far from trivial because existing techniques are neither scalable nor accurate enough. To address this issue, we propose a model to predict video streaming quality based on the observation of performance indicators of the underlying IP network. To accomplish this objective, the proposed model - created using LTE networks as case study - leverages low network consumption active measurements and machine learning techniques. Obtained results show that the proposed solution produces accurate estimates (average error of less than 10%) while keeping intrusiveness around twenty times lower than traditional techniques.
