CERNET Video Experiences • H.323 • AccessGrid • DVTS • Easy if multicast ready • Easy if multicast ready • Not Easy • Easy
CERNET2 Video Trial • DVTS (30Mbps) - major application • HDTV(27Mbps) - for VoD • SDTV-uncompressed (200Mbps) - for interactive VC • HDTV-uncompressed(1.2Gbps) - for telemedicine • 3D DVTS(60Mbps) - for special demo
Our Thinking • DVTS is an exciting and very useful application • DVTS requires special network support (30Mbps, single stream). If we can solve the DVTS transmission problem especially for inter-domain case, we can support other high performance application globally. • We can use CERNET2 to test large scale DVTS system . DVTS is a very good point to start!

reflector reflector reflector S source unicast SSM multicast Reflector Development • It runs on Linux OS and developed using g++ • It supports IPv4 and IPv6 • It supports Unicast and multicast (SSM and ASM) • It can reflects 20+ streams with gigabit network card • It will be released as Open source very soon
Lessons We learnt (1) • Large-scale DVTS is possible • Network support • 30 nodes for unicast (bandwidth limitation) • Much more nodes for multicast • End pc limitations • completely interactive • Network monitoring integrated tools is very important for the administrator • Isolate network problem and application problem • Self-service tools can dramatically increase the efficiency • User can do the test at any time • Open network and video performance info for users
Lessons We Learnt (2) • Non-technique factors • Heavy load of coordination • POC list • Very difficult to do concurrent testing • Website • Standard configuration • Test reports release • Sharing info on common problem solving • Important notice
Remarks • Features of our system • Pure IPv6 • Large scale • Multiple reflectors with multicast feeding • User controlled pre-test environment • Real time network traffic monitoring • We will present more technical details tomorrow
