Abstract:
A growth of high speed Internet increases network traffic and applications that use voice, data, and multimedia services. Among those, Internet Protocol TeleVision (IPTV) service is rapidly proliferating all over the world. However, network infrastructure cannot accommodate the growth of IPTV. Therefore, this study suggested a bandwidth reservation mechanism using a traditional protocol to achieve a more stable IPTV service. We referenced the Multiple Stream Reservation Protocol (MSRP) that is a bandwidth reservation protocol in IEEE 802.1AVB and implemented a similar reservation mechanism in IPTV service environment; however, but our own mechanism improved the bandwidth reservation fail situations that are not supported by the original MSRP. Therefore, the proposed method is more stable for bandwidth reservation in the IPTV service environment. We examined the proposed method with network simulator, OPNET, and compared an end-to-end delay via the original IPTV service and with the end-to-end delay using our bandwidth reservation.
