Performance evaluation technique of the RTSP based streaming server

In recent years, there have been many streaming servers that provide a large number of contents for a user´s preference. General purpose streaming server makes use of a RTSP protocol for streaming controls such as message passing with client players. To date, there has been minimal research regarding streaming server´s performance test tools. For measuring streaming server´s performance, performance evaluation technique is needed and also achieved by the RTSP controls, a server´s performance result and its miscellaneous test tools such as the PseudoPlayer for pumping data to a specified port and the PseudoMonitor for gathering information. In this paper, we implement a test toolkit for evaluating a streaming server´s performance and show the case of its application.
