Improving FFMPEG Performance with RTMP Server Using SDN-Controlled Routing in Containerized Wireless Mesh Networks

Abstract

Because traditional networks lack flexibility, agility, and scalability, the highly demanding Over-The-Top (OTT) multimedia apps pose additional challenges for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in providing a good Quality of Experience (QoE) to their customers. Through the use of software-defined networks (SDN) and network function virtualization, future networks will cloudify their network resources (NFV). New technologies, such as software-defined networking and network function virtualization, play a very important role in modernizing wireless mesh networks and improving bandwidth, latency, packet drop, and network security. In this paper we compared the multipath routing and forward routing. In this architecture we used unicast transmission through multipath packet forwarding using the POX controller and Forward routing sends network traffic from a source node to a destination node over a single route. This technique defines the route statically or dynamically depending on network factors such connection availability, congestion, and latency. Even if there are numerous paths in the network, all multipath packet forwarding is restricted to one path by using this controller. Real-time Message Protocol server for internet video networks: FFmpeg. Video streaming allows encoding, transcoding, effects, and more. FFmpeg simplifies live stream production and other video operations. FFmpeg streams RTMP, the early internet video streaming protocol. TCP-based RTMP provides persistent, low-latency streaming. This study proposes streaming the video of a virtualized wireless host container to wired and wireless clients using an FFmpeg RTMP server address outside the wireless mesh architecture and assessing its controller performance by collecting data from wired and wireless hosts. The container in the wireless mesh topology and outside topology may transmit video.
