A key piece of video network intelligence is the ability to monitor the communications between the components of video networks. This is particularly relevant for key video services that exist either outside the scope of live TV services or non-customer facing technologies that are essential for video services. For example, Video On Demand (VOD) services rely heavily on proper communications between the set-top-box and the service provider’s network in order to request, transmit, and receive the on-demand asset. Likewise, Switch Digital Video (SDV) technologies require intensive monitoring to ensure the health of SDV deployments.
