The architecture of IP networks for delivering linear broadcast TV services looks similar to some traditional delivery networks, being a type of secondary distribution network. The major components are:
- Head-End (HE) – where feeds are acquired and ingested.
- Core transport network – where IP packets route from one place to another.
- Central VoD Nodes – where the video servers reside.
- Regional VoD Node – where access network elements such as the DSLAMs are aggregated.
- Access network – which takes the data to the home – together with the home gateway and the user’s STB.
- Inhome network – where the STBs access to TV channels.
End-to-end TV service network architecture
The whole network, however, is controlled, managed and maintained as a single service.
