Design and Architecture of a IPTV system

Abstract

To start with, in Chapter I we will define what IPTV stands for and listed the different organizations implicated in the normalization and standardization of this major breakthrough Thus, in Chapter II we analyze with further detail two different architectures proposed by ITU-T and TISPAN, emphasizing both differences and similarities between. Both architectures provide a large variety of services later analyzed in Chapter III. In Chapter IV, we passe on to explain different practical implementations of distributed IPTV systems like CDN and P2P technologies and we ended with an analysis of different codec technologies used nowadays on the formers on Chapter V.
