The popularity of 5G and cloud technology have created conditions for the development of novel video services, and at the same time, the services have put forward higher requirements for the network. By analyzing the problems of complex configuration, long setup cycle and poor scalability of traditional Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) architecture in the deployment of video services, and introduce the metropolitan area cloud network (MACN) architecture. Introduce how to deploy Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN) over SRv6 based on MACN to satisfy the differentiated guarantee of different video services with simple configuration and flexible efficiency taking the cross-provincial unicast video service as an example. Taking Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service as an example, introduce the solution of deploying Bit Index Explicit Replication IPv6 (BIERv6) multicast technology based on MACN to simplify multicast service configuration, reduce redundant video traffic in the network, shorten service turn-up cycle and improve user experience.
