The ITU Tel
10、ecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis.

42、IPTV services, IP multicast is required to distribute a large amount of multimedia content to a number of end users simultaneously. Since IP multicast has highly complex capabilities, and is designed for a general purpose, there should be some guidelines on the development or deployment of IPTV serv
43、ices when using IP multicast for content distribution. This supplement describes some technical issues that should be considered in the deployment of IPTV services when using IP multicast for content distribution. By describing several solutions to these issues, this supplement provides technical gu
44、idelines for the deployment of IP multicast-based content distribution for the IPTV services. The capabilities of IP multicast can be categorized into four parts: data delivery, group management, QoS control, and security. Each category of general IP multicast capabilities is briefly described and i
45、ts technical issues are summarized in clause 7. The detailed deployment guidelines for these issues are presented in clauses 8, 9, 10, and 11. 7 IP multicast capabilities and issues related to IPTV content delivery 7.1 Multicast data delivery This capability deals with the delivery of data to multic
46、ast group members. The essential function of multicast data delivery is data forwarding according to the group membership of end users. There are two models for data delivery capability: any source multicast (ASM) and source-specific multicast (SSM). In ASM, the multicast channel is specified by the
47、 multicast group addresses only, regardless of the multicast senders (*, G). ASM is appropriate for the many-to-many delivery model (with multiple sources and multiple receivers in a session). Note, however, that the ASM model has high complexity in terms of management of group membership, globally
48、unique addresses, and rendezvous points (RPs). In contrast, SSM uses a combination of the multicast senders address and the multicast group address for a multicast channel (S, G); hence the easier management of group membership and address in SSM. Note, however, that SSM has a limitation with regard
49、 to the many-to-many delivery model. Since multicast-based IPTV content delivery is based on one-to-many delivery model (with one source and multiple receivers), SSM is more appropriate for support IPTV services. Multicast data is forwarded along a multicast routing tree built by the network elements using a multicast routing protocol. Among multicast routing protocol standards, protocol independent multicast sparse mode (P
