Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for approximating video transmission quality capability through a communications network. Initially, a processor is used to insert data into the network through a first endpoint that is delivered to a second endpoint. Then, at least one characteristic of the network between the first and second endpoints is determined based on how the second endpoint receives the data. After the at least one characteristic is determined, a representative video segment is selected based on the at least one characteristic. Finally, the representative video segment is output to demonstrate the video transmission quality capabilities of the network.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- inserting, via a processor, data into a first network at a first endpoint for delivery to a second endpoint in the first network;
- determining a characteristic of the first network between the first endpoint and the second endpoint by measuring, at a first time, a performance characteristic of the data as received by the second endpoint, to yield a measured characteristic of the first network;
- selecting a representative video segment from an existing database of video segments, the existing database created from a second network at a second time prior to the first time, based on the measured characteristic of the first network;
- and
- outputting the representative video segment to demonstrate video transmission quality of the first network.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable device having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- inserting data into a first network at a first endpoint for delivery to a second endpoint in the first network;
- determining a characteristic of the first network between the first endpoint and the second endpoint by measuring, at a first time, a performance characteristic of the data as received by the second endpoint, to yield a measured characteristic of the first network;
- selecting a representative video segment from an existing database of video segments, the existing database created from a second network at a second time prior to the first time, based on the measured characteristic of the first network;
- and
- outputting the representative video segment to demonstrate video transmission quality of the first network.
