Description:

Real-time video streaming over a multipath system enhances the quality of video delivery by diminishing packet loss, latency, and congestion, which eventually improves service quality and user experience. This paper addresses technical issues related to multipath routing, including path selection, packet scheduling, and path matching, and proposes solutions such as MPT-GRE. The effectiveness of MPT-GRE is assessed using recognized metrics such as PSNR, SSIM, and MSE, which are used to quantify differences in video quality. The paper aims to explore challenges and solutions in real-time video streaming over multipath networks, mainly focusing on MPT-GRE, while also quantitatively assessing the impact of streaming on video quality. In this paper, we selected a set of videos with different resolutions and specifications from the Waterloo Streaming QoE Database. The study measures how video quality assessment metrics influence streamed video through a network using the MPT-GRE communication library and demonstrates the efficiency of real-time video streaming using MPT-GRE. This paper presents evidence that MPT-GRE improves high-resolution video streaming, leading to a smoother and more reliable experience. These enhancements are validated using metrics such as PSNR, SSIM, and MSE, demonstrating the effectiveness of MPT-GRE in maintaining high video quality in multipath network environments.
