Video Traffic Source

Generates realistic video streaming traffic patterns with frame-based timing and variable packet sizes mimicking video encoding characteristics. This specialized traffic generator simulates video codec behavior including I-frames, P-frames, and GOP (Group of Pictures) structures with configurable frame rates and encoding parameters. Essential for testing adaptive streaming protocols, evaluating video quality under network constraints, bandwidth adaptation algorithms, and quality of experience (QoE) measurements in video delivery systems.
