Deployment of Live Audio Services on FTTx Networks

Most live audio/video services deliver information which is produced just-in-time; thus, the deployment of these services is very challenging: there is never a second chance to broadcast the contents. Therefore, aspects such as the selection of the most suitable architecture or the impact of the underlying network technology need to be carefully studied. This chapter presents an evaluation of different architectures that may be used to deploy a live audio service on cable networks. This evaluation has been performed thanks to the development of a model of a real service that accurately reflects the behavior of the users, devices, and protocols involved in the service. The results of the evaluations can be applied to any deployment planned on a real cable network.
