“…Although the proposed architecture just requires a small set of functionalities for a given node (local admission control), it increases its performance when placed in a Next Generation Network, where all devices in the whole path between peers, reserve resources for the video traffic exchange. This architecture is based on a previous work [6] where a complete RGW architecture was presented.…”

“…The protocol stack ( Figure 1) of each peer uses the mScribe (modified Scribe) on top of mPastry (modified Pastry). The mPastry layer is controlled by the Resource Management, which uses the Call Admission Control (CAC) to manage the assigned resources, reserves resources requested by SIP and approves the resource usage ( [6]). …”

“…This approach not only makes the process transparent to the user, but it can also enable operators to reserve uplink capacity for deliver the video content to other users. Because the residential network resources are taken into account when the reservation is made for a particular class of service, the quality is consequently improved [6].…”

Abstract-This paper proposes a peer-to-peer video streaming delivery system within the framework of Next Generation Networks using Application Level Multicast. Increased efficiency and reliability is achieved in two ways. First, the system uses path diversity by splitting the video traffic in several stripes and distributing each stripe via different multicast trees. Second, the proposed architecture lies within a Next Generation Network framework that enables network resource reservations with different classes of service. Therefore, the video stripes can receive different priorities making possible the usage of Layered Coding techniques such as MultiDescription Coding and Scalable Video Coding. The peer-topeer protocol takes advantage of the multipath delivery and resources reservation by optimising the searches for a parent in the multicast tree, thus minimising the service access time and service interruptions. These ideas can be improved using always-on central devices like Residential Gateways as peer nodes.

Multi-Service Access Everywhere (MUSE) is a large European research project that addresses multi-service access networks. The consortium is led by Alcatel-Lucent and consists of major operators, vendors, and research institutes in Europe. A general network architecture and an open business model were defined. Requirements and methods for the authentication of users or devices to such multi-service access networks were elaborated. The concept of Internet Protocol (IP) sessions was reviewed and options for monitoring IP sessions were compared. Pragmatic recommendations for the implementation of resource admission control and policy decisions were formulated. The paper also describes how the requirement to support nomadic services influenced some of the architectural choices for the authentication and policy framework. A dedicated section addresses solutions at the application layer for session continuity. © 2008 Alcatel-Lucent.An important challenge for the architectural studies at the start of MUSE was the definition of multiservice capabilities on an Ethernet-based access network. While there are many areas investigated by MUSE that are described with more detailed resultsareas such as service rich access platforms [25,27], residential gateways [3,12], specific first mile solutions [23,24], and lab trials [13,19]-this paper reports on specific network architecture aspects that are required to turn an Ethernet access network into a multi-service network. In a first phase, the project already addressed methods to achieve secure connectivity. The results of this early work were shared via standardization efforts in the DSL Forum [5] and published in other papers (e.g., in [26]). They have contributed to the rapid introduction to real deployment of Ethernet-based services. In the second phase, however, IntroductionThe objective of the Multi-Service Access Everywhere (MUSE) project is the research and development of a future, low cost, multi-service broadband access network. MUSE is part of the Information Society and Technology (IST) Framework Programme of the European Commission. The consortium consists of almost all major European players in the field of broadband access, including vendors and providers, several university institutes, and small and medium enterprises. The large project integrates a wide scope of activities ranging from end-to-end access architectures to access and edge nodes, first mile solutions, and residential gateways. The project started in January 2004 and ended in March 2008. Its results are conceptual studies, consensus recommendations, contributions to standardization, and proofs of concepts in lab trials [18,26].Bell Labs Technical Journal 13(1), 11-28 (2008 there were important capabilities that remained to be addressed to achieve a full multi-service capability, and those are the subject of the present paper: the authentication and management of sessions, the provisioning of quality of service (QoS), and the support of nomadic services. Multi-service capability does not only include the...
