Book description
Provides options for implementing IPv6 and IPv6 multicast in service
provider networks
New technologies, viewing paradigms, and content distribution
approaches are taking the TV/video services industry by storm.
Linear and Nonlinear Video and TV Applications: Using IPv6 and
IPv6 Multicast identifies five emerging trends in
next-generation delivery of entertainment-quality video. These trends
are observable and can be capitalized upon by progressive service
providers, telcos, cable operators, and ISPs.
This comprehensive guide explores these evolving directions in the
TV/video services industry, including worldwide deployment of IPv6,
IPTV services, web-produced video content, and the plethora of
different screens available, from TV to iPad. It offers practical
suggestions as to how these technologies can be implemented in service
provider networks to support cost-effective delivery of entertainment,
and how new revenue-generating services can be brought to market.
Important topics include:
- Evolving video consumption habits and possible network implications
- An overview of IPv6 address capabilities, protocols, quality of
service (QoS), and more
- Process descriptions of IP multicast and IPv6 multicast approaches
and challenges
- A detailed??overview of IPTV systems and technologies, including
architectural requirements, QoE and QoS, security and content
protection, networks, and more
- Internet-based TV technologies: streaming, content distribution
networks, P2P networks, and cloud computing
- Non-traditional video content sources and their implications
Linear and Nonlinear Video and TV Applications: Using IPv6 and IPv6
Multicast is indispensable reading for planners, CTOs, and
engineers at broadcast TV operations, Cable TV operations, satellite
operations, Internet and IS providers, telcos, and wireless providers.
