Testing IPTV • Two areas of focus when testing IPTV • Infrastructure Testing – verifying the capacity and behavior of the network and each network element • Video Quality Testing – assessment of the end user Quality of Experience (QoE) • Testing procedure: • Benchmark each area separately • Test video quality under varying loads at different points in the network • Increase the number of Video Streams and Subscribers to cause the QoE to degrade –this creates a deployment benchmark for customers Jitendra Garg DGM(MPLS& IPTV)
Bandwidth • Can the infrastructure handle hundreds of channels? • Channel zapping • How fast can a user change channels? • Channel validation • Is the correct information being received? • Benchmarking • How do real servers compare to the Lab environment? • Triple-Play • What is the effect on Voice and Data? Infrastructure Testing Jitendra Garg DGM(MPLS& IPTV)
Infrastructure Testing • Infrastructure Testing Methodology: • Bandwidth capacity to handle expected size and number of multicast streams • Network and network element performance and scalability • Vary subscriber profiles, background traffic and measure: • Number of multicast streams supported • % packet loss • Maximum number of subscribers supported, etc. • Channel change behavior • Create profiles to emulate subscriber behaviors, background traffic and measure: • Channel change (zapping) time • Join failures • Redundant joins • Packet loss • Join/leave latencies, etc Jitendra Garg DGM(MPLS& IPTV)
Technical Parameters • Jitter : <10 msec (2 msec for HDTV) • Packet loss : < 0.1 % (I-frame loss critical) • Zap time : 2 to 3 seconds • Latency : Critical • For HDTV… 8 Mbps • For SDTV… 2 Mbps Jitendra Garg DGM(MPLS& IPTV)
