Design and implementation of integrated monitoring system for IPTV platform

Basic architecture of integrated monitoring system for IPTV platform is introduced, as well as the implementation of its functions. Monitoring video images is realized in P2P (Peer-to-Peer) mode and source mode. The system gets video streaming data from other peers by P2P peer searching strategy in P2P mode while it gets the data from source directly in source mode. The system also provides function of monitoring running status, including the status of processes, network and video streaming publishing, and sends alert information as SMS (Short Message Service) messages to administrators via GSM modem when faults happen and recover. For the function, abnormal tables which record status duration times of faulty items are maintained in order to determine the opportunity to alarm. The system lends it well to helping administrators aware of the video quality and user experience and reports running faults in time, thereby guaranteeing the normal operation of the IPTV service.
