Abstract

The significant interest in IPTV drives the needs for flexible and scalable IPTV delivery way, especially when distributing IPTV service to end-users who are in a separate network or not in an IPTV enabled network. The recent popularity of VPN has made scalable distribution of IPTV possible. VPN can provide global IPTV networking opportunities and extended geographic connectivity. Additionally, the native traits of VPN also provide secure and controllable service features to IPTV. This paper addresses one important area related to IPTV distribution, namely scalability. We present a novel solution to distribute IPTV via VPN to remote end-users over public networks. The solution allows end-users over a wider geographical area to get IPTV service, and it also reduces operating costs. Traffic measurements and evaluation of services performance are also illustrated and discussed in this paper.
