Viper

Viper Player for ICN

VIPER is an MPEG-DASH video player that supports video retrieval using TCP or CICN from an HTTP video server using several video qualities. VIPER implements a variety of adaptive controllers such as PANDA, AdapTech, and BOLA. It supports video qualities up to UHD but best tablets can render up to FHD such as iPad Pro or Google Pixel. The video player does not support audio streams as it is mainly used as a prototype for demonstrations. This feature will be available later on.
