Streaming techniques, including the selected streaming protocol,
have an effect on the streaming quality. In this study, the
performance of three different streaming protocols in a disturbed
communication channel is evaluated with a modified version of
the FFPlay player. A H.264 encoded video is used as a test
sequence. The number of displayed image frames, the frame rate
and playout duration are used as objective metrics for QoS. The
metrics brings out differences of streaming protocols in our test
environment. They are measured at the application level and have
a connection to the user experience.
