End-to-End QoS of Video Streaming Service on Joint SUCCESS DWA PON and Modified RPR Network

The end-to-end QoS of streaming video on a joint metro and access network is investigated. SUCCESS DWA PON is a highly scalable broadband access network, which can bridge current TDM PON and future WDM PON smoothly and cost-effectively. The IEEE 802.17 Resilient Packet Ring is an emerging MAN standard that designs for efficient packet-based traffic transmission over rings. A realistic video service model is constructed on this joint network, where one of the RPR nodes is dedicated to feed VBR video streams to the end-users in the presence of self- similar Internet traffic. Two improvements are proposed to improve the observed shortcomings in the video streaming performance. To improve the QoS of the streaming video, an additional transit queue is added in the RPR mode to reduce end-to-end delay. In addition, the RPR fairness algorithm is modified to improve the class-C traffic throughput. Simulation results show combined video QoS and total throughput enhancement with the proposed modifications.
