Optimizing Video Transport in Your IP Triple Play Network

Overview Service providers that compete for market share in next-generation consumer entertainment and communications services must move beyond "Bundling" and offer personalized media and interactive IPTV services that blend entertainment, communications, and the Internet. To accommodate the needs of IPTV services, networks must be able to scale to millions of customers, maximize bandwidth resources, and provide Quality of Service (QoS) and security on an end-to-end basis. For these and other reasons, network intelligence is critical when deploying video over broadband. This paper examines the requirements for optimized video transport in an IP triple play network and shows how Cisco's IP Next Generation Network (IP NGN) Architecture addresses the video challenges of today and tomorrow.
