This is a group project with 2-3 students per group.
Project Plan:
Your project plan must include: 1) clearly stated problem;
2) solution approaches -- current
and new that you propose; 3) implementation plan of your
solution using either simulation or
modeling or other means; 4) evaluation metrics you will
use for comparative analysis of the
current and new solutions.
Progress report may be given verbally in class.
Final Project Report:
The format for your final project report should be similar
to the standard IEEE conference
paper including sections on Introduction, Related Work,
Proposed
Solution/Architecture/Algorithms, Simulation/Implementation,
Results, Conclusion.
Option 1
For the class project, we will use the Realnetworks Helix
DNA Platform. You may start browsing the website at www.helixcommunity.org.
The idea is to develop a robust application using the Helix DNA for media
production, distribution, and playback. Your starting point may be the
list of possible projects that the community is interested in; the list
is provided at https://wideopen.helixcommunity.org/2003/wishlist.
You may propose new ideas not on that list. I am particularly interested
in architecture-related projects.
Option 2
Partial
Video Server and RTSP and RTP Implementation (Adapted from
Kurose - Ross on
Computer Networks). Use this idea for further expertimentation
and analysis of video
streaming using the Internet as the delivery network.
Project will not be given any credit if the
experimentation and analysis parts are missing.
Option 3
Construct a peer-to-peer streaming application environment
in NS2. Analyze the application performance with respect to network
related metrics -- packet loss, delay and delay jitter.
Here are couple of papers to get you started :
Paper1,
Paper2
here is an extended survey on P2P architectures p2p-survey.pdf

Regardless of which option you choose, here are the deadlines:
