Video Quality Assurance Across IP Networks: Challenges, Requirements & Winning Strategies

As customers demand increasing flexibility to receive video services anywhere and anytime with the best possible quality of service, cable operators of all types have deployed IP next-generation networks, which provide new levels of scalability, flexibility and fault resilience, while acting as a platform for the rapid deployment of new video services. Operators will be challenged with monitoring and troubleshooting the growing number of video flows across these dynamic IP networks. A single lost IP packet can create visible artifacts on a large number of television screens, promoting the need for a new approach to video quality monitoring.
