dashc, client emulator for DASH video streaming

dashc is an emulator of the video player, it is intended to be used as a test tool. The original goal was to have a lightweight test tool for network performance experiments with a real DASH video streaming traffic.

dashc has several options which can be changed through the command line arguments:

• video adaptation algorithm (Conventional, BBA-0/BBA-1/BBA-2, ARBITER);
• initial buffer size (in segments);
• last segment index for play;
• log file and folder name (the log file can be on/off);
• maximum buffer size (in seconds);
• persistent connection (on/off);
• generation of the meta information for BBA-2 and ARBITER (file with segment sizes);
