Recently, the importance of IPTV providing multimedia service over IP based networks managed to provide the required level of quality of service and experience, security, interactivity and reliability has been gradually increasing by the commercialization of its service. However, the original purposes of IPTV service - contents are produced and consumed anytime, anywhere, and over any device at the same time - have not been satisfied by service providers because most services offered by service providers depend on closed IPTV platform. In this paper, we propose an open IPTV service platform that an individual or small company can easily produce contents and offer IPTV service independently from the existing closed IPTV platform.. The proposed IPTV platform exploits overlay multicast scheme to offer reasonable service under the environment where network bandwidth and processor resource are limited. It also uses CDN-like scheme to ensure the quality of transmitted contents. The performance evaluation shows that the proposed IPTV platform has the possibility of being an open IPTV platform considering its results such as the quality of transmitted contents, the transmission rate, the channel zapping time, and so on. It also shows that proposed IPTV platform could be applied to real IPTV service with continuous enhancement of its functions and user interfaces.

In this paper, to manage the efficient control of IP packet flows crossing multi-provider networks such as Internet, we propose a SDN(Software Defined Networking)-based policy controller. The proposed policy controller leverages the visibility of underlying network and manages both virtual links and ports to inter-connect networking elements. The controller is capable of quickly composing multiple on-demand virtual networks and dynamically managing the composed networks, thus it can provide more flexible and optimized overlay networking environment to end-user applications. More specifically, we first look into the proposed structure and features of policy controller. With two kinds of service applications, we then verify the applicability of the proposed controller by evaluating its service composition time.

In the Internet, as computer resource is developed, multimedia data request being increase more and more. It is effective way that process both high capacity-data and real-time data. Overlay Multicast is an effective method for efficient utilization of system resources and network bandwidth without using hardware customization. Overlay Multicast is an effective method for multimedia data service to multi-users. Multicast tree reconstruction is required when a non-leaf host leaves or fails. In this paper, relay-frame interval is selected as revealed network-state with jitter. In our proposal, multi-user service control algorithm gives a delay effect in multimedia request time. The simulation results show that our proposal takes shorter period of time than the other algorithms to reconstruct a similar tree and that it is a more effective way to deal with a lot of nodes that have lost their multi-user nodes.

IP Multicast has not been deployed because of hardware problems. So a new scheme that is called Overlay Multicast for group communication has been emerged. It supports IP Multicast functions, which is located on application level. For developing it, we have been focused on efficient overlay tree construction among group members with low stretch and stress. However, we should consider a variety of transmission or receipt condition since a real internet environment has users with various transmission/receipt rates. Thus, we make one-time source specific tree depending on required bandwidth informationof group members when a member requests data transmission. Our mechanism provides satisfied data quality limited maximum transmission rate of the source to each group members. Furthermore, we manage a large group enough as distributing control information to cores that are designated membersfor maintaining host member information. Lastly, we prove that our tree guarantees data quality to each group members, and show low tree consruction time is required. In addition, for evaluating group scalability, we analyze control information increasing rate via group size, and validate its scalability.

인터넷 상의 불특정 다수의 컴퓨팅 자원을 연계하여 오버레이 네트워크를 구성하여 새로운 컴퓨팅 인프라를 구성하려는 분산 해쉬 테이블 (Distributed Hash Table)방식의 Peer-to-Peer(P2P) 네트워크 관련 연구가 진행되고 있다. DHT 방식의 P2P네트워크는 자원의 복제 및 공유하여 컴퓨팅 시스템 전반에 걸친 신뢰성과 결함 감내 능력을 향상시키는 장점이 있는 반면에 하부 네트워크 정보를 무시하기 때문에 전체 시스템 구성 및 메시지 전송에 있어 실제적인 성능상의 문제점을 드러낸다. 이 논문에서는 하부 네트워크의 구성 정보를 이용하여 DHT 기반의 P2P 네트워크의 메시지 전송 방식의 효율을 높이는 방법을 소개한다.

Overlay Multicast is an effective method for efficient utilization of system resources and network bandwidth without a need for hardware customization. Multicast tree reconstruction is required when a non-leaf node leaves or fails. However frequent multicast tree reconstruction introduces serious degradation in performance. In this paper, we propose a tree performance optimization algorithm to solve this defect by using information(RTCP-probing) that becomes a periodic feedback to a source node from each child node. The proposed model is a mechanism performed when a parent node seems to cause deterioration in the tree performance. We have improved the performance of the whole service tree using the mechanism and hence composing an optimization tree. The simulation results show that our proposal stands to be an effective method that can be applied to not only the proposed model but also to existing techniques.
