Network Capabilities (Network Services) for Content Production & Contribution

Quality of Service

  • Ability to apply different QoS profiles to individual data flows coming from the same device.
  • Ability to separate media/data flows coming from devices
    • Delivery to endpoint (Application Media Server) may be identified by security/protocol/IP/port
  • Ability to configure new or re-configure existing QoS profiles to be selected during runtime
  • Ability to select at runtime a QoS profile for a media flow
  • Ability to receive ACK (success/fail)

Information monitoring, logging and/or Network assistance

  • Ability to receive information from the network
    • real-time for QoS profile re-selection and/or e.g. codec reconfiguration, bitrate reconfiguration
    • during runtime for troubleshooting
    • after the session (logging information) for post-processing

Time Synchronization

  • Ability to enable distribution of timing information
