Elements and Performance Criteria
- Produce and evaluate design requirements for an IPTV network
- Analyse major video models and the impact video challenges have on design of an IPTV network
- Evaluate IPTV against other competing TV broadcast technologies to determine optimum design approach
- Produce the topology of an IPTV network, showing network architecture from IPTV standards’ bodies and determine design requirements
- Plan dimensioning of network parameters for multicast and unicast video delivery over broadband in a service provider network
- Design an IPTV network for video on demand (VoD) delivery
- Design the content delivery system (CDS) to cache IPTV content in each major metropolitan area for broadcast or streaming VoD models to eliminate performance variability introduced by internet transport or core peering relationships
- Design a video network to provide VoD loads with network solutions using VoD design requirements
- Design a VoD application to meet bandwidth requirements and quality of service (QoS) requirements for commercial viability of IPTV network
- Design and configure an MPLS IPTV network to meet business requirements
- Determine IP-MPLS network design requirements
- Investigate factors that affect design considerations and ways they can be minimised
- Produce the design topology of a MPLS network to provide secure methods of transporting IP packets using layer 2 protocols
- Design a MPLS layer over the IP networking structure, to combine efficiency of multicast protocols with traffic engineering (TE) facilities to enable fast packet forwarding for real time video streaming applications
- Manage delivery of IPTV services
- Determine operational processes required to support IPTV by operators
- Produce a plan of the management and customer support model, including strategies dealing with delivery of VoD issues
- Produce a plan of a video network using video delivery strategies to deliver optimum average revenue per user (ARPU) to serve the demographic of an area and the nature of an operator’s business
- Manage and monitor video across the network using a management tool
