Impact of Core and Access Network Impairments on IPTV SLAs
by Dr. Ali Begen
Abstract: In this talk, we present the video technologies developed at Cisco in
the service provider space, including Content Delivery Systems (CDS),
Video-on-Demand (VoD) and IP Television (IPTV). We illustrate the
problems experienced during the video transport and distribution in core
and access networks with examples. We discuss several techniques for
improving network reconvergence times and reducing the network loss as
well as their performance/cost trade-offs and their impact on IPTV
Quality of Experience (QoE).
