White paper: IP Networks for Broadcaster Applications

Intended for broadcast engineers interested in understanding how Internet Protocol (IP) Networks can be used as a transport layer for next generation broadcaster networks, this paper describes how IP and MPLS technologies have the capability to deliver highly available point-to-point and point-to-multipoint services to meet today’s broadcaster video requirements. With the inherent capabilities of modern IP routers and high-speed optical and Ethernet transport, broadcasting organizations can take advantage of the substantial OPEX and CAPEX savings of IP networks. With no need to statically provision circuits and bandwidth, much more efficient utilization of networks and resources can be achieved, while ensuring the bandwidth and Quality of Service to support even the most demanding applications.
