Service Level Analysis of Video Conferencing over Wireless Local Area Network

This paper modelled an effective video conferencing application over an existing wireless network. The topology of an existing wireless network was obtained and simulated using the Riverbed Modeler 17.5 software with a view to determining if the existing wireless network was capable of running a video conferencing application. The Riverbed Modeler 17.5 software was used to model and simulates the behavior of network in a wireless environment. The Result analysis showed that, the modeled network has highest delay of 0.1225 bytes and lowest delay of 0.01, which resulted to severe throughput degradation. The throughput result was just 80 (Mbps), which is below the required throughput of 100 (Mbps) for an efficient Video Conferencing application over wireless network. From the results obtained from this simulation work in comparison with the requirement, it showed that the modeled network does not provide sufficient requirements for video conferencing application.
