Issues in Transporting MPEG over IP

Ciro Aloisio Noronha

Transporting MPEG over traditional IP networks (or packet-switched networks) involves a number of issues related to the required Quality of Service the network must provide to ensure proper playback of the content. This paper presents a discussion of these issues. We start by analyzing the MPEG requirements on the network, from a stream playback point of view. We then discuss how the IP network can satisfy these requirements, both from an infrastructure point of view and from a protocol support point of view.
