An ns-3 distribution supporting MPTCP and MPEG-DASH obtained by merging community models

Description

MPEG-DASH and MPTCP are two technologies growing in interest and put together they promise greater quality of experience for video consumers and better network resource usage. However, while independent MPEG-DASH and MPTCP implementations exist for ns-3, they are not directly usable together as they suffer from incompatibilities. In this work, we introduce a new ns-3 distribution that packages the AMuSt Framework DASH implementation and the ns-3 MPTCP implementation from University of Sussex such that they can be used together to nourish the flourishing research on Internet video streaming.
