MTStreamPerf

Summary

Network factors of streaming media are hard to quantify.MTStreamPerf is a bandwidth measurement tools for stream media over TCP/UDP/HTTP/RTSP. MTStreamPerf supports various parameters for precise controls. For each test it reports the measured throughput/bitrate, loss, and other parameters. MTStreamPerf aims to quantify the quality of incoming streaming data.

MTStreamPerf Features

• [☆] Supports ThreadPool/ThreadTask
• [☆] Supports Forward Error Correction(WAIT to develop, donate codes?)
• [☆] Supports Streaming Performance Testing over TCP/UDP (will done soon!)
• [☆] Supports Streaming Performance Testing over RTSP (will done soon!)
• [☆] Supports Streaming Performance Testing over HTTP (WAIT to develop, may be abandoned,sorry!)
