Overview

The cost effective delivery of “triple play” (voice, data, and video) services is made possible in large part by next-generation, standards-based, distributed network architectures that use packet transport mechanisms. These new networks must deliver specific class of service (CoS) support for all three service types, each of which comes with its own application-specific quality of service (QoS) needs. IP-based delivery of video services places unique demands on the entire networks due to the complex techniques of high compressed video signals in MPEG2/MPEG4 and WM9.  To ensure proper service delivery, application-specific QoS parameters must be made.  Measurements made at the customer premise during service installation will show the accumulated effects of the distribution networks and thus be a good predictor of QoE (Quality of Experience).
