1 IxLoad: Testing Microsoft IPTV IxLoad provides a comprehensive solution for validating service delivery networks utilizing Microsoft IPTV. IxLoad offers a complete solution that simulates core systems of the Microsoft IPTV platform and allows service providers to scale to thousands of subscribers in order to determine quality of service under realistic load conditions. Several key performance indicators are measured, including Quality of Experience (QoE) using perceptual video quality metrics. IxLoad supports Instant Channel Change (ICC) capability across thousands of dynamic triple-play subscribers. IxLoad also emulates acquisition and distribution servers, called A-servers and D-servers. Each Ixia s high-performance XMV16 load module can simulate 12,800 MS IPTV clients, generating a video throughput of more than 14 Gbps. A fully loaded Optixia XM12 chassis can simulate over 150,000 clients and deliver 168 Gbps of video traffic. Large scale MS IPTV deployments can be created to measure the performance of the entire service delivery network. Key Features Emulation Simulation of large numbers of MS IPTV-like STBs per port, with the ability to scale to hundreds of ports Simulation of realistic tripleplay scenarios in which IPTV is actively used, along with voice and high-speed Internet access Use of multiple IPTV user profiles, each of which includes channel line-ups, viewing patterns and impairment options Flexible triple-play subscriber and service separation options using VLANs, 802.1p TOS, DHCP with option 82, and uplink/downlink persubscriber management Real World Testing Mixture of IPTV, voice and data traffic in the same test Support for RTP/UDP or UDP for video transmission Near wire-speed video transmission with very low jitter Support for interleaved ICC and VoD client commands Support for user-specified video content or synthetic data on A and D servers Comprehensive channel selection capability, including sequential, random and binomial distribution Dynamic channel watch behavior, including percent distributions Agoura Road Calabasas, CA USA Tel Document No.: Rev F August Page 1

2 What is MS IPTV? Microsoft IPTV (MS IPTV) offers digital television services over IP networks, including broadcast programming, and on-demand and rich interactive media services. These services are typically offered in a triple-play bundle to consumers, featuring voice, high-speed Internet, and IPTV. MS IPTV is a complete solution, built around industry-standard and Microsoft proprietary protocols. A number of high-end servers running on Microsoft platforms are used to provide content storage, content delivery, and security in a service provider s network. Acquisition servers perform live content acquisition from various local and terrestrial sources for linear broadcast TV. Distribution servers are placed at various points in the network to facilitate distribution of frequently used content. They also improves service response time and reduce channel change time. Customer premises IP set-top boxes (IP STB) run Microsoft proprietary software and protocols in order to maximize performance. This includes conditional access and digital rights management (CA/DRM) technologies that ensures that secure copyright content is only delivered to authorized set top boxes. Unlike channel switching on cable TV, where changes are instant, inherent switching and routing delays in an IP network cause channel changes to be visibly slower. Microsoft uses a combination of unicast requests from the STB to the D-Servers, followed by a multicast request to the network. The capability is referred to as Instant Channel Change (ICC). Testing MS IPTV The inherent complexity of MS IPTV poses a challenge for pre-deployment labs attempting to validate their service delivery network. The ability to measure their network s performance and reliability under realistic load scenarios is a crucial as part of capacity planning. IxLoad offers the optimal solution in ensuring network readiness. The core capabilities of IxLoad with respect to MS IPTV testing include: Subscriber simulation with Instant Channel Change behavior Triple-play subscriber simulation with ICC-like traffic, in conjunction with data and voice traffic A-server simulation for delivery of multicast channels into the network D-server simulation that provides initial unicast streams to subscribers Key performance metrics, including transport and perceptual video quality scores IxLoad, when used with the MS IPTV component simulations, can be used to: Measure the channel zap performance of an MS IPTV-like deployment Determine the ability of a transport network to carry triple-play traffic Measure the impact of network characteristics on video quality Measure the perceived quality of video delivered to the subscriber Key Features Emulation Simulation of large numbers of MS IPTV-like STBs per port, with the ability to scale to hundreds of ports Simulation of realistic triple-play scenarios in which IPTV is actively used, along with voice and high-speed Internet access Page 2
