A new architecture for enhancing the QoS of IPTV video components in LTE systems

NetworkAPI: An In-Band Signalling Application-Aware Traffic Engineering Using SRv6 and IP Anycast

“…A straightforward approach to eliminate the negotiation procedure is achieved by an in-band signalling. As the name indicates, this approach allows the application to signal a desired TE behavior in a header field of the sending IP packet, such as a DSCP [17] and an IPv6 flow label [18]. At a network operator's edge router, the IP packet is adequately forwarded to an optimal TE path by examining the desired TE behavior signalled in the header field.…”

“…Since the NetworkAPI framework exposes some of the packet control capabilities to applications, it is necessary to ensure that the request is from an authenticated application, especially when provided in a public environment such as the Internet. Regarding the application authentica- [11], [12] Network-side Classification-based Approach (ML) [13]- [16] Application-side Request-based Approach (out-band) [2]- [7] Application-side Request-based Approach (in-band) [17], [18] [19] provides HMAC TLV that contains a hashbased message authentication code (HMAC) calculated by a pre-shared key and an SRH message [37]. As shown in Fig.…”

QoS Based IPTV over LTE-WLAN Heterogeneous Networks

“…The suggested PHB will make possible prioritization of sub traffics in accordance with the applied QoS network policy. We have previously tested our approach on a fixed network (Matoui et al, 2017a) and then on a mobile one in case of moving user in one cell (Matoui et al, 2017b) and in case of stable and moving users in three different cells (Matoui et al, 2018a;2018b). In this study, we start with a description of the IMS network and IPTV.…”
