Validated Solutions: Integrated Content Delivery

The growth of unicast and user-generated traffic is changing the business model for network service providers, which in turn, is driving changes to how networks are built and how services are delivered. How do you continue to deliver traditional walled garden services, such as linear TV, VOD and voice; or open garden services, such as video streaming and gaming; not to mention all the unmanaged Internet content? The dynamic growth of this bandwidth fundamentally changes the economics of broadband delivery, as network service providers are forced to deploy ever-increasing bandwidth without passing along these costs to cost-conscious customers. It is a problem looking not for quick fixes but for long-term and scalable solutions.

Integrated Content Delivery Handbook was created, tested, and validated by the Juniper Networks Solutions Engineering team as an implementation guide for delivering modern content to broadband subscribers. The entire reference architecture, as well as all of the accompanying configuration examples, are based on Juniper's validated testing results. This is not another primer on networking and related technologies - it's a deep dive into the New Network Platform Architecture. The reader should be versed in Layer 3 networking technologies, including IP and MPLS, as well as have a certain fluency with the Junos CLI.
