Performance Analysis of Internet Streams using Remote Desktop Tools

The online streaming applications for video or audio transmission are increasing such as YouTube, live- streaming, online games and VoIP. Many smartphone applications have also been developed for online streaming. The quality of such online streams depend on the various factors such as network speed and the protocol design. The network speed could be managed, whereas the protocol re-design requires so many efforts for the optimized performance. In order to design a new protocol it is necessary to understand the network conditions by monitoring the network traffic. The paper presents a detailed analysis of the network traffic over streams of video and audio. For that, the most widely used protocol i.e., TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is used. For the experimentation a test bed have been implemented, which consists of a Remote PC and a Host PC. The basic TCP parameters monitored are Retransmission, spurious retransmission, duplicate Packets Two famous remote desktop tools, Team Viewer and Aero Admin, are used for the streaming and the Wire shark is used for the analysis of network traffic.
