This document supports an open test strategy for IPTV networks. A 10 step approach must incorporate an end-to-end approach for performance measurements.
To conduct effective testing of the CMTS/Cable Modem environment, the test setup must replicate, as closely as possible, the real world deployment environment. In everyday life multiple individual CPE devices will run a multitude of application types behind each Cable Modem.
By using ‘Per flow’ test and performance measurements, Service Providers and Network Equipment Vendors, may test for vulnerabilities and security breaches, when emulating end points with plain SIP/RTP and secure end points with TLS/SRTP.
Service Provider networks are evolving rapidly. Today, it is imperative for network operators to support the so called Triple Play scenario of video, voice and data...
Despite the ubiquity, high bandwidth and inherent cost advantages of Ethernet, there is still a requirement to effectively guarantee quality of service (QoS)....
IPTV broadcast services delivered on multicast technologies enable network operators to deploy compelling digital TV services using existing broadband access infrastructures. In this scenario.....
Emulate real-world application traffic, in the home behind the residential gateway. Test performance on a per flow basis and determine IPTV QoE under various conditions. Set DHCP/PPPoE......
Tests for MPEG based IP video including IPTV and Video on Demand (VoD) media streams in determining subscriber Quality of Experience(QoE). This paper can be used as part of an overall IP video test.....
