Design Elements for Core IP Media Infrastructures

Al Kovalick

The combination of Internet Protocol (IP) and Ethernet is quickly becoming the lingua franca for data and media transport in the professional media facility. This paper will review the salient features of the transition to an all-IP infrastructure, including (1) the three planes, (2) examples of audio-visual (AV) and IP technology today, (3) concepts of realtime transport of multiple-essence flows, single-essence flows, and groups, (4) core switching architectures, including scale, reliability, and quality of service (QoS), (5) flow steering methods, (6) trust domains, and (7) registration and discovery.
