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 i Pad. 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 (Qo S), and more
* Process descriptions of IP multicast and IPv6 multicast approaches and challenges
* A detailed overview of IPTV systems and technologies, including architectural requirements, Qo E and Qo S, 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.
