Abstract:
1. A monitoring system comprising: a video network analyzer, coupled to a monitoring device, that processes packet data of a data distribution network to identify at least one media session in the packet data that includes video content, and to generate network and media session data relating to distribution of the video content via the data distribution network in the at least one media session to a remote video player, wherein the network and media session data includes a plurality of quality of experience metrics that predict the quality perceived by a user in association with presentation of the at least one media session to the user and wherein the video network analyzer generates a delivery quality of experience metric of the plurality of quality of experience metrics, at least in part, by analyzing the packet data from the at least the one media session prior to buffering by the remote video player, to predict a video stalling during playback and an associated re-buffering event wherein prediction comprises an estimated number of re-buffering events and their duration or their location in the media session and the video network analyzer also generates a presentation quality of experience metric of the plurality of quality of experience metrics, based in part on a relationship between an encoding quality and a display resolution associated with the remote video player; and an analytics database, coupled to the video network analyzer, that stores the network and media session data for generation of report data based on the network and media session data.
