Proactive Video Assurance through QoE and QoS Correlation

In a traditional environment, video and network performance are verified with independent tools across the entire network. Multiple performance metrics are utilized across the network with no efficient way to pinpoint the problem source. This time-consuming process requires many man hours
of inter-group interaction and often leads to incorrect resolution paths.

The latest video assurance techniques implement uniform metrics across the network with a management node where performance correlation is analyzed. Furthermore, leading cable, telecommunications and satellite companies pursue joint QoE and QoS assurance techniques to combine the advantages of both methods. This whitepaper will discuss these techniques, their application and benefits.
