Integrated Video Admission Control for the Delivery of a Quality Video Experience

Tags:
web tv - set top boxes

Overview Cisco works closely with service providers on Cisco IP NGN technologies to ensure that video reaches users with high quality, based on policies administered in the network's service layer. Given the bandwidth demands and quality requirements of video services, Cisco developed an admission-control solution that consists of two highly reliable components: Video-on-Demand (VoD) admission control and broadcast video admission control. Performing admission control is necessary to preserve a high-quality video experience. The Cisco admission control solution takes into account complex network topologies that have redundant and load-sharing paths in the transport network as well as access link utilization policies and business policies that may be enforcing other constraints on subscriber services.
