Multimedia applications over the Internet and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) gain a lot of attention. IPTV has a number of service requirements such as; high bandwidth, scalability, bounds on delay, jitter and channel zapping time. IP multicast, IP Multimedia System (IMS) Protocol and peer-to-peer (P2P) approaches are proposed for implementing IPTV. However, IP multicast requires all the routers in the core network to possess multicast capability, IMS does not easily scale and P2P cannot efficiently utilize the network resources because of its completely distributed nature. To this end, we propose Cluster Based Application Layer Multicast (ALM) IPTV (CALMTV) which is a new application layer multicast protocol for live IPTV. CALMTV combines application layer multicast, scalable video coding and probing techniques to meet live IPTV requirements. We present the components and their relevant algorithms of CALMTV. The performance of CALMTV is demonstrated with ns2 simulations. Our experiment results compared with the published results of other ALM architectures, which can support IPTV, show that CALMTV improves end-to-end delay and zapping time with respect to these architectures withou significant increase of jitter.

Ünlü, Berk; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
One of today’s most popular multimedia applications that needs more investigation and optimization is Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). Simulation tools are essential to test existing network technologies and develop new ones. They are effectively used for network analysis and solving design and optimization problems. The focus of this thesis is an extensive simulation study to evaluate the achieved Quality of Service (QoS) support by VoIP traffic under different network topologies, traffic profiles, cod...
Video distribution over IP networks
Özdem, Mehmet; Erten, Y. Murat; Department of Information Systems (2007)
As applications like IPTV and VoD (Video on demand) are gaining popularity, it is becoming more important to study the behavior of video signals in the Internet access infrastructures such as ADSL and cable networks. Average delay, average jitter and packet loss in these networks affect the quality of service, hence transmission and access speeds need to be determined such that these parameters are minimized. In this study the behavior of the above mentioned IP networks under variable bit rate (VBR) video t...
