A new network infrastructure architecture arising from the multimedia service evolution

With the trend of more intelligence, richer service forms and more resources consumed, the underlying network architecture of multimedia services needs to be innovated urgently. This paper discusses a new network infrastructure architecture for multimedia services based on cloud-network convergence. The deep integration of computing and network is practiced by multimedia rendering service to build the computing power network (CPN) under this architecture. This architecture can adapt to the increasing complexity and uncertainty of new multimedia services in the future.
