Toerless Eckert, Cisco Systems

This tutorial gives an overview of how IP multicast and (MPLS) multipoint technologies can be used in IPTV solutions and beyond. The presentation first sumamrizes such solutions and the resulting strategies to consider when deploying multipoint technologies. It then continues to present an architectural overview highlighting key functions of multipoint IPTV solution.

In the remainder of the session those key functions are reviewed SSM, native IP multicast vs. mLDP and RSVP-TE/P2MP tree building, resiliency for multipoint (convergence, fast reroute, dualstream), Path selection for cost optimization, admission control and channel change issues and solutions.
