Abstract:
The continuous development of communication networks has allowed the emergence of IPTV has an innovative service which together with IMS, promises to change radically the TV experience for consumers. The main intention of this paper is to propose a design of an IMS-based IPTV system using completely open source software for its development and using an IPv6/MPLS core network to provide the transport of multimedia content. For this purpose, we first study the related work in the area, and then we present the proposed design describing the devices and software available for the implementation of the prototype. We have identified a lack of research in IPTV concerning IPv6 and we propose a prototypical implementation in order to answer the actual concerns about this subject and generate more research in the area. This work is a first approach on an IPTV framework and it is limited only to the design of an IPTV system, which is the starting point of several future work on IPTV traffic analysis.
