• Obtaining of the information for the validation of the quality of the video signal.
A video signal to be
transmitted over a IP
network should be
compressed. The codec

sequence of images I, B

conforms. In the header

Results of the Simulations Tests.
Uniform packet loss: Superior losses to 0.001% are inadequate
for a service of IPTV and they have bigger impact in the audio
one that in the video.
Packet Loss in Burst: Bigger affectation in the video that in the
audio one, however they are less annoying for the user than the
uniform losses.
Delay and the Jitter: Affectations are not observed in the range
between 0 and 50 mseg, what demonstrates the
recommendations of the WT-126 of the DSL Forum´s.

 Conclusions.
The design of the IP network of broadband in ETECSA with the implementation of protocols
like the PIM, IGMP and BGP among others constitutes the fundamental pillar of the
development of the Objective Network of ETECSA, allowing the expansion of the NGN and the
possibility of offering novel services like the IPTV.
The valuable theoretical and investigative experiences developed for the appropriate
correlation of the QoS and the QoE with the employment of the probe FreeProbe, with metric
T-factor and MDI, they have allowed ETECSA to have a tool personalized for the validation of
the quality of the service of IPTV, which was extended, with the addition of new metric in the
Freeprobe that include the validation of the service of ToIP (at the moment in test).
The Platform of Services of IPTV developed in ETECSA, jointly with the laboratory testing
model that incorporates a IP network emulator was an important aspects that minimized the
costs of the investments of the investigative stage were and they allowed to obtain important
theoretical and practical results.
The proposal of use of the FreeProbe (MDI) to validate the Profile of Quality of the IP Network
of ETECSA, it transforms it into an important alternative in front of the expensive acquisition of
the Shadow Router dedicated to this only function.
