Abstract:
Service providers have been recently investing heavily in IP technologies
with the goal of providing reliable, high-quality digital TV content to
their subscribers with rich personalization features. This new form of
television, called IPTV, leverages many existing networking architectures
and protocol specifications, but also led the way to develop new ones to
address its specific requirements.
In this talk, we provide an overview of IPTV and its building blocks,
summarize the architectures and protocols used to carry video over IP in
core, aggregation and access networks. We also briefly discuss several
concepts related to quality of experience.
