Get a clear picture of IP Multicast applications for delivering
commercial high-quality video services
This book provides a concise guide to current IP Multicast
technology and its applications, with a focus on IP-based
Television (IPTV) and Digital Video Broadcast-Handheld (DVB-H)
applications--areas of tremendous commercial interest. Traditional
phone companies can use IP Multicast technology to deliver video
services over their networks; cell phone companies can use it to
stream video to handheld phones and PDAs; and many cable TV
companies are considering upgrading to IP technology. In addition
to applications in industries seeking to provide high-quality
digital video and audio, there are numerous other practical uses:
multi-site corporate videoconferencing; broad distribution of
financial data, stock quotes, and news bulletins; database
replication; software distribution; and content caching (for
example, Web site caching).
After an introduction that gets readers up to speed on the
basics, IP Multicast with Applications to IPTV and Mobile
DVB-H:
Discusses multicast addressing for payload and payload
forwarding
Covers routing in a variety of protocols, including PIM-SM, CBT,
PIM-DM, DVMRP, and MOSPF
Discusses multicasting in IPv6 environments and Multicast
Listener Discovery (MLD)
Features examples of IP Multicast applications in the IPTV and
mobile DVB-H environments
Includes reference RFCs and protocols placed in the proper
context of a commercial-grade infrastructure for the delivery of
robust, entertainment-quality linear and nonlinear video
programming
This is a concise, compact reference for practitioners who seek
a quick, practical review of the topic with an emphasis on the
major and most often used aspects of the technology. It serves as a
hands-on resource for engineers in the communications industry or
Internet design, content providers, and researchers. It's also an
excellent text for college courses on IP Multicast and/or IPTV.
