Get a clear picture of IP Multicast applications for deliveringcommercial high-quality video services
This book provides a concise guide to current IP Multicasttechnology and its applications, with a focus on IP-basedTelevision (IPTV) and Digital Video Broadcast-Handheld (DVB-H)applications--areas of tremendous commercial interest.Traditional phone companies can use IP Multicast technology todeliver video services over their networks; cell phone companiescan use it to stream video to handheld phones and PDAs; and manycable TV companies are considering upgrading to IP technology. Inaddition to applications in industries seeking to providehigh-quality digital video and audio, there are numerous otherpractical uses: multi-site corporate videoconferencing; broaddistribution 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 thebasics, IP Multicast with Applications to IPTV and MobileDVB-H:
* Discusses multicast addressing for payload and payloadforwarding
* Covers routing in a variety of protocols, including PIM-SM, CBT,PIM-DM, DVMRP, and MOSPF
* Discusses multicasting in IPv6 environments and MulticastListener Discovery (MLD)
* Features examples of IP Multicast applications in the IPTV andmobile DVB-H environments
* Includes reference RFCs and protocols placed in the propercontext of a commercial-grade infrastructure for the delivery ofrobust, entertainment-quality linear and nonlinear videoprogramming
This is a concise, compact reference for practitioners who seeka quick, practical review of the topic with an emphasis on themajor and most often used aspects of the technology. It serves as ahands-on resource for engineers in the communications industry orInternet design, content providers, and researchers. It's also anexcellent text for college courses on IP Multicast and/or IPTV.
