Requirements

You are required to design and implement Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) to meet the requirements of corporate customers.
You are required to design an end to end IPTV functional architecture and implement the core network infrastructure using MPLS. The design should minimise Pacific Internet Solutions costs by reducing bandwidth requirements while maintaining a high level of customer experience by providing high quality video and fast channel changes.

Scenario

Pacific Internet Solutions, a multinational Internet Service Provider (ISP) offers a range of internet services to customers. The company also offers Layer 3 VPN's and Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) to corporate customers. The company has recently secured a contract with a major provider of pay (cable) television to deliver IPTV to its customers. Pacific Internet Solutions needs to incorporate efficient delivery of IPTV services into its delivery capabilities. The company has not previously provided multicast services. The current network only supports unicast services. The company is in need of an efficient IPTV delivery method.

Pacific Internet Solutions expects that after IPTV is available to subscribers its number of subscribers will increase from the present number of 20,000 to 100,000 over the next 5 years.
