About the session
Operators must address how to deliver managed video services to a broad array of IP-enabled unmanaged consumer devices in the home. Technology is needed today to meet the demand for high-quality multi-screen IP video with a migration path to future network requirements. IP video traffic is not highly controlled and predictable. Delivering IP video constitutes a new video service, and the transport layer is a service element inextricably tied to other IP video service elements. Therefore, choosing the right transport layer to launch and support this service requires careful consideration of its ability to support all IP video service elements. As such, the transport layer is a service element that is inextricably tied to other IP video service elements. This presentation examines major transport-level solutions for wide-scale IP video deployment and each alternative's ability to support all of the required IP video service elements and relative cost comparisons.
