Many of the requirements in this tool chain depend on the configuration which should be processed in the chain. Therefore not all tools are needed. In the following the basic application requirements are given with an extra description for each tool which additional requirements are needed depending on the configuration which should be processed.

• Linux
• Python 2.7

• At minimum one or more registered encoder from the supported coders list
• The codecs referenced in the configuration and registerd in the supported codecs list

• At minimum one or more registered streaming coder from the supported coders list
• tcpdump to capture the transmitted packets
• The codecs referenced in the configuration and registerd in the supported codecs list

• For offline loss insertion:
• tpkloss
• For online traffic manipulation:
• tcpreplay
• tc
• tcpdump
• OPTIONAL: scapy if you want to trace the loss

• scapy

• At minimum one or more registered decoder from the supported coders list
• The codecs referenced in the configuration and registerd in the supported codecs list

NOTE: It is recommended to place all required software tools into /usr/bin. If other pathes are required, the code has therefore to be adapted.
