Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design and connect a multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) network for internet protocol TV (IPTV). This includes secure core and access networks for the service provider.It applies to individuals who interpret technical information accurately and work proficiently with information communication technology (ICT). Technical staff installing an internet protocol (IP) service provider network for delivery of emerging technologies for IPTV using multicast (broadcast) and unicast video on demand (VoD) streaming complete this work.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare to implement IPTV service provider
  • 1.1 Obtain and clarify work health and safety (WHS) requirements and risk control measures and procedures for a given work area with appropriate personnel
  • 1.2 Use topology of an IPTV network and design plans to locate network elements for video over broadband
  • 1.3 Select network elements to provide optimum video delivery service
  • 1.4 Obtain configuration instructions for network elements
2. Implement IPTV network to meet business requirements
  • 2.1 Configure an IP-MPLS core network overlaying the IP network to deliver IPTV
  • 2.2 Implement VoD application to meet bandwidth requirements and quality of service (QoS) requirements for commercial viability of IPTV network
  • 2.3 Install and configure video service routers for content delivery system (CDS) applications to support TV streaming and internet streaming, with session shifting for follow-me or mobile video facility
  • 2.4 Produce addressing scheme and protocols required for IP multicasting used in the IPTV network
  • 2.5 Configure security measures in IPTV network to protect against security threats
  • 2.6 Configure label switch routers (LSR) to provide secure methods of transporting IP packets using layer 2 protocols in an MPLS network
  • 2.7 Configure MPLS-TE (traffic engineering) to provide routing on diverse paths to avoid congestion and guarantee bandwidth services
  • 2.8 Troubleshoot network according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures
3. Build and configure CDN architecture network
  • 3.1 Build content delivery network (CDN) architecture overlaying routing and switching architecture of an IP network to deliver internet TV to internet devices
  • 3.2 Use routing and switching infrastructure to enable CDN share characteristics of each element to produce network functionality
  • 3.3 Install and configure web cache communication protocol (WCCP) on router to redirect traffic flows in real-time to reduce transmission costs and download times
4. Complete and document network installation
  • 4.1 Restore worksite to safe condition according to established safety procedures
  • 4.2 Record and store essential installation information according to enterprise procedures
  • 4.3 Notify appropriate personnel of completion of the task according to enterprise procedures
