IP Multicast for Entertainment Video Cisco Days – Raleigh, NC Agenda Video System Elements Edge Reliant System Design (Example Topology) Multicast Overview Multicast Design Metrics Managing IP Multicast (CMM VOS) VideoSystem Elements System Elements and Resiliency Video System Elements Design Dependencies The design efficiency of the entertainment network is largely dependent on the IP Multicast capabilities of the components in the system. We should consider those capabilities categorically: Video Sources (single or redundant) Digital Simulcast (MPTS) Switched Digital (SPTS) DPI (Both MPEG-2 Transport Types) Edge Receivers (network intelligent or not) QAM Modulators Decoders Nodes and Links (functionality required is based on source/edge) Transport Equipment Routers and Interfaces Forwarding Protocols Resiliency Options Single Video Source Leveraging a single video source into a High-Availability design requires some method of replication that may not establish uniqueness of the video streams. Non-Optimal Optical splitting will create duplicate traffic that uses the same multicast addresses Forced multicast forwarding into transport paths increases video flow replication and transport demand Optimal Sophisticated source devices that replicate video traffic as uniquely addressable source streams Intelligent Edge devices dynamically select video traffic to minimize bandwidth and replication Secondary/Backup Video Source Layer-2 forwarding using VLAN’s with Any Source Multicast (ASM), or classic multicast Layer-3 forwarding of adjacent system content using ASM multicast IP addressing Layer-3 forwarding of adjacent system content using Anycast multicast IP addressing Video Edge Considerations IGMP support (or the lack of it) is the largest factor driving network design Non-IGMP compliant devices create design constraints that impact bandwidth demand and network device efficiencies Video Edge Dependency UltimatelyDrives Topology Decisions An Evolving Distribu
