Experimental implementation of an IPTV architecture based on Content Delivery Network managed by VPLS technique

This work aims to shows how to use the base principles of a CDN (Content Delivery Network) to deliver Video Content through Open Internet for VoD (Video on Demand) service through a managed network to improve the reliability and to reduce the degradation due to congestion in the backbone area. The managed network is achieved by means of the VPLS (Virtual Protocol Lan Service) technique that allows the CDN to take advantages from features of a fast restoration in case of node or link failure and the Transport Engineer for the best Path.
