Performance Evaluation of Different Architectures for an Internet Radio Service Deployed on an Fttx Network

Internet radios have become one of the most popular services on the Internet. This popularity has motivated the interest of the scientific community and much research has been conducted to improve and study these services. In this context, this paper presents an evaluation of different architectures that can be used to deploy an Internet radio service on a cable network. To perform the evaluations, a model of an Internet radio service has been implemented on a simulation tool. The model has been validated using the information gathered from a real service; thus, it accurately reflects the behaviour of the users, devices and protocols involved. The results of the evaluations can be applied to any deployment planned on a real cable network.
