Abstract
The Internet has experienced a considerable increase in the use of audio and video applications, which provoke a large consumption of the resources available in the network and servers. Therefore, the monitoring and analysis of those resources has become an essential task in order to enhance the service delivered to users. This work depicts a monitoring module implemented in a video server architecture, which is used to track the transmission of some popular video formats. Our experiments have demonstrated that one of the formats delivers a performance considerably better than the other, regarding the bandwidth allocated to each user session, what reassures the importance of having such a monitoring module available in a server’s architecture.
