A Shenick diversifEye Applicatin Note on Testing Performance of Multicast Services.

Network infrastructure today is highly evolved and supports a greater number of converged IP applications such asvideo, voice and data. All of these applications have numerous means of implementation and a myriad of protocols.With a greater emphasis being placed on quality, communications equipment manufacturers and network providersare looking to per flow test solutions to provide measurements for higher quality user experience in applications suchas IPTV on infrastructure such as xDSL, CMTS, FTTx , xPON and next generation radio network architectures (LTE).

A diversifEye Application note on Test Performance of IGMP based Multicast Services with emulated IPTV STBs for Shenick diversifEye.

Unlike point-to-point network applications, multimedia applications such as IPTV, datacasting (news, stock tickers) and distance learning depend on the ability to send the sameinformation from one server to many users across an IP network. The purpose of thispaper is to introduce procedures specific to testing the performance of IPTV multicastnetworks and services with Shenick's diversifEye IP Quality of Experience test andmeasurement platform.

Virtual Infrastructure Testing - Performance Testing of Virtual Infrastructure requires a per flow process enabling measurements on concurrent flows on a per virtual machine basis

Delivering On Demand services to hundreds of homes with trick play features (rewind, fast forward and pause)requires extensive knowledge on the practical limitations of the network from content ingest to the end viewer. As apay for service, Providers need to have a clear indication of what their customers will experience under a variety ofnetwork conditions.

Testing IPTV/VoD media streams over converged IP or Triple Play networks is a daunting andsomewhat unfamiliar area for many. IPTV has added a new level of complexity and challenge tothe network, the addition of real-time or broadcast television. IPTV must offer a high quality ofservice and experience in which users will not tolerate any distortion and is error free. The aim ofthis paper is to outline key video concepts plus the technical issues that may arise. The paper willalso outline methodologies and guidelines that should be used in testing and monitoring for IPTVQoE.

The foundation of HTTP adaptive streaming is the re-use ofnetwork infrastructure and in particular caching capabilities. Acomprehensive test strategy includes a measurement of responsivenessof the cache especially to new requests for contentalready in circulation.

AMT delivers multicast streaming to parts of the network not yet equipped for native IGMP and MLD protocols using a unicast approach. Testing the scalability and performance of AMT delivery requires the diversifEye per flow approach.
