Multi-source Video Streaming Suite

This paper presents a method for the distribution of video flows through several paths of an IP network. We call the approach multisource focusing on the fact that, from the receiver’s point of view, the stream is obtained from several different sources. A typical use of our procedure is in the design of a P2P network for streaming applications. We implemented a tool in VLC which can send video streaming from multiple sources. In this paper, we describe the method together with the design decisions and the operation characteristics of the tool. Finally we consider, at the receiver side, the perceived quality, automatically measured using the PSQA methodology. We illustrate the work of the tool by means of some tests.
