Measurement of IPTV Qualitative Parameters on EPON/VDSL2 Topology

Ahstract- The future of telecommunication networks lies in the area of multimedia services that are offered to end customers. The article discusses the possibilities of deploying IPTV service for a hybrid type of telecommunication topology, which is formed by EPON/VDSL2 systems. The advantage of such topologies is the use of already existing telecommunication network and verification of qualitative features of the distributed IPTV data flows at the same moment. Therefore, the main outputs of this article are the possibilities of distributing data packets by means of multicast or unicast operations. The basic qualitative parameters of the video and data flows (PSNR, MSE, and SSIM) were evaluated with the help of the software tool - MSU Video Quality Measurement Tool.
