Assessment of alternative transport options for video distribution and retrieval over ATM in residential broadband
David J. Wright · IEEE Communications Magazine · 1997
This article analyzes options for transporting CATV distribution, pay-per-view, and video-on-demand over a residential broadband network. It provides clearly tabulated evaluations of video coding alternatives, ATM service category alternatives, ATM adaptation layer alternatives, and methods for dealing with errors and delay. Conclusions are drawn regarding buffer requirements, congestion control, and error control.
