Us

15、e cases, primary metrics, IPTV metrics, definitions, measurement points, and metric applications are identified. 1.2 Document Revision Summary This is the second revision of this document. The original version was published in August 2007. Among refinements to the previous version, this version inco

16、rporates input from a joint collaboration between ATIS and the Video Services Forum (VSF) 43. The ATIS IIF and VSF worked together to define an initial set of IPTV-related content quality metrics for both video and audio in order to address the increasing requirements for measurements related to Qua

17、lity of Experience (QoE). Other noteworthy additions include defining metrics availability and reliability for different protocol stacks and encryption levels, adding metrics for Multicast Listener Discover (MLD) Join Latency and MLD Leave Latency to accommodate IPv6, and improving the definitions o

18、f previously-established metrics. 1.3 Goal The goal of this document is to define a base set of QoS metrics for Linear (Broadcast) IPTV service (as defined per ATIS-0800002 1) as completely as possible while avoiding duplication. The ATIS IIF recognizes that as the IPTV architecture is currently a w

19、ork in progress, not all QoS metrics applicable for the Linear (Broadcast) IPTV service can be envisioned at this time. 1.4 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide the industry with a set of well-defined QoS metrics for Linear (Broadcast) IPTV service. 1.5 Scope and Assumptions This docum

20、ent provides metrics for linear television services as defined in ATIS-0800018, IPTV Linear TV Service. These metrics generally facilitate performance measurement or monitoring, unlike the fault codes in ATIS-0800028, Fault Codes for IPTV, which generally indicate hard faults. QoS metrics for public

21、 services are defined in ATIS-0800011 11. MPEG stream-layer QoS metrics are defined in ATIS-0800040 9. This standard provides some guidance for metric application, with more details provided in ATIS-0800041, Implementers Guide to QoS Metrics. Metrics for IPTV MPEG Transport Stream ATIS-0800008.v002

22、2 Monitoring are defined in ATIS-0800040 9. Multi-Program Transport Streams (MPTS) are not considered in this document. Figure 1: IPTV Logical Domains and Interfaces (Source: ATIS-0800007, Figure 1 10) Referring to Figure 1, the metrics defined in this document are focused toward the interface betwe

23、en the Network Provider and the Consumer; however they also apply to the interface between the Service Provider and Network Provider, and the interface between the Content Provider and Service Provider. It is assumed that the ITF at startup before the service is available will be involved in a varie

24、ty of setup/control communications with any IPTV oriented network/service attachment functions in the Service Provider (SP)/Network Provider (NP) networks. At this time, the ATIS IIF does not analyze the traffic in the control plane associated with this action to determine the need for QoS metrics;

25、this is for further study. This document generally assumes that MPEG Transport Stream (MPEG2-TS) on Real Time Protocol (RTP) encapsulation is used. The ATIS IIF does not assume that only RTP is used, and allows MPEG2-TS directly over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) configurations 7. It is understood th

26、at when RTP is not used, this complicates accurate calculation of several metrics including dropped packets. Additional information/alternatives to calculate such metrics without RTP is for further study. This document also does not directly address the network architecture that maps video content d

27、irectly to RTP packets not utilizing MPEG2-TS packets. This work is for further study. This standard defines an initial set of IPTV related audio metrics. Additional metrics may be of interest in the future, such as Loudness Variation, Overs/Unders, Clipping, etc., and these are for further study. A

This device or equipment may be a dedicated measurement

29、 system or a device or equipment that is involved in the end-to-end IPTV service delivery, such as an ITF. 2.1.3 Quality of Experience (QoE): Describes the users experience. QoE can be affected by the network infrastructure, in which case we broadly group picture QoE, transaction QoE, audio QoE, and

30、 multimedia QoE. QoE may be calculated or estimated numerically using sets of QoE indicators and/or QoS metrics. 2.1.4 QoE Indicators: Individual performance indicators that can be experienced by a user. Include video indicators such as picture error blocks, transaction indicators such as channel ch

31、ange delay, audio indicators, and multimedia indicators. 2.1.5 Quality of Service Metrics: Measures of technical performance. Includes network QoS metrics such as IP packet loss as well as higher-layer metrics. 2.1.6 Use Case: A use case is an external view of a system that represents an action or s
