A Comparison of IP Datagrams Transmission using MPE and ULE over Mpeg-2/DVB Networks

Abstract

Digital video broadcasting (DVB) defines the carriage of multimedia and Internet information to client by means of MPEG-2 transport stream. The DVB standards also allow the same system to transmit Internet protocol (IP) data. This data broadcasting technology enables the broadcast of large amount of data to the personal computer over satellite or other broadcasting network. This allows the MPEG-2 TS bearer become a hop in IP network. The intention of this paper is to compare the existing multi-protocol encapsulation and ultra lightweight encapsulation methods for IP transmission over DVB networks
