In order to guarantee the best user experience throughout different network access technologies with dynamically varying network conditions, it is fundamental to adopt new technologies enabling a proper reception of the multimedia content. In this paper we implemented a prototype of streaming client, based on the MPEG DASH standard. We experimentally evaluated three adaptive streaming algorithms proposed by different authors in order to answer the following questions: (i) how fast is the reaction time to bandwidths changes? (ii) algorithm behavior on a highly unstable network conditions and (iii) buffer underrun/overflow. We identify differences, inefficiencies and possible improvements. |
