This presentation introduces the MUSE project, focusing on service and multimedia enablers, trends in access node technology, and improving Quality of Experience for multimedia applications. It covers topics like video-aware traffic management, reliable video transport, time-shifted TV, and QoS implementation. The MUSE project aims to provide a secure and cost-effective network for European citizens, connecting end-user terminals in a multi-provider environment. The presentation also highlights the importance of service enablers, network parameters, and the evolution of access platforms. Additionally, it discusses the consortium partners involved in the project and trials conducted at various access labs.

Why to migrate intelligence in the access ? • Quality (QoS): first fully trusted point close to the user – only point with complete view of all services per user • Security: ingress/egress point to network • Robustness: smaller number of users impacted in case of failure • Scalablility: feasible data rates for DPI and processing

Quality of Experience • QoS: Network parameters • Bitrate • Packet loss • Delay, jitter • QoE: User perception • MOS (Mean Opinion Score) • Visible pixel errors per hour • Zapping delays • Viewing mode (e.g. live, progressive download) • Gaming: Fast response, but equal delay • Best Effort Internet • Service awareness in the network can improve the QoE
