Research and Markets has announced the
addition of “IP
Multicast with Applications to IPTV and Mobile DVB-H” to their offering.

This book provides a concise guide to current IP Multicast technology and its applications,
with a focus on IPTV and Digital Video Broadcast-Handheld applications—areas of tremendous
commercial interest. Traditional phone companies can use IP Multicast technology to
deliver video services over their networks; cell phone companies can use it to stream
video to handheld phones and PDAs; and many cable TV companies are considering upgrading
to IP technology. In addition to applications in industries seeking to provide high-quality
digital video and audio, there are numerous other practical uses: multi-site corporate
videoconferencing; broad distribution of financial data, stock quotes, and news bulletins;
database replication; software distribution; and content caching.

After an introduction that gets readers up to speed on the basics, IP Multicast with
Applications to IPTV and Mobile DVB-H:

  • Discusses multicast addressing for payload and payload forwarding
  • Covers routing in a variety of protocols, including PIM-SM, CBT, PIM-DM, DVMRP, and
    MOSPF

  • Features examples of IP Multicast applications in the IPTV and mobile DVB-H environments
  • Includes reference RFCs and protocols placed in the proper context of a commercial-grade
    infrastructure for the delivery of robust, entertainment-quality linear and nonlinear
    video programming

This is a concise, compact reference for practitioners who seek a quick, practical
review of the topic with an emphasis on the major and most often used aspects of the
technology. It serves as a hands-on resource for engineers in the communications industry
or Internet design, content providers, and researchers. It’s also an excellent text
