  This chapter briefky describes a study on software defined networks and the
tools necessary for video transmission on this type of networks. Among the
aspects presented is the methodology used to establish the video transmission
and the procedure to evaluate the quality obtained. A video transmission
experiment is presented, which consists on the evaluation of adaptive
transmission of video streams using adaptive techniques as MPEG/DASH and
scalable coding. The experiments were carried out over a software defined
network topology in the MININET Platform
