Project Name :
Next Generation Network Concepts and Testing -Triple Play Solution- Phase 1

Group Members :
Jeannie Ngiam Siew Hwee
NoorhaKim Bin Abdul Raman
Alvin Lee Kar Fye
=================================================
Description :

• Investigate,Consolidate,Plan,Design,Develop,Implement and Review EI Capability Development on Next Generation Network based on Triple play(Phase 1).
• Research and Development on Linux-Based Next Generation Multi cast video channel and also to ensure multi casting over network.

Technologies Involved :

• Static/Dynamic VLAN
• MVR(Multicast VLAN Registration)
• IGMP Snooping(Internet Group Management Protocol)
• Qos(Quality of Service)
• open source Embedding

Next Generation Network(NGN) :

• board terms used to describe key architectural evolutions in telecommunication core and access networks deployed over the next 5-10years.
• One Network that transfer all information and service (Voice ,data, and all sort of media such as video) by encapsulating these into packets as if it is on the Internet.
• More Defined Separation between transport(connectivity) portion of the network and the services that runs on top of the transport.This would allow provider to enable new service by defining directly at the service layer without considering the transport layer.
• NGN concepts take into consideration new realities in telecommunication industry characterised by factor such as : converging and optimising operating networks and the extraordinary expansion of digital traffic.(e.g increasing demand for new multimedia services)

Three Main architectural involved by NGN :

1. In Core Network,It implies a consolidation of several(dedicated or overlay)transport networks each historically bulit for one core transport network(often based om IP and Ethernet).
2. In Wired Access Network,NGN implies the migration from "dual" legacy voice next to xSDL setup in local exchanges to a converged setup in which the DSLAMs integrate voice ports or VoIP allowing to removing the voice switching infrastructure from the exchange.
3. In Cable Access Network,NGN convergence implies migration of constant bit rate voice to Cable Labs Packet Cable standards that provide VoIP and SIP services.Both services ride over DOCSIS as the cable data layer standard.

Challenges and Reflection :

• New Technical terms to be applied to project.
• Knowledge base and skills wise need to be improved.
• Time Management,learn to breakdown an impossible task into smaller manageable size and complete them into time.
• Research,read,understand and finally apply to project.

Achievements :

• Enable Multi casting over the network and configuring the switch for Multi casting.
• Development of Linux-based multi-casting,multi-streaming video channeling system based on triple play modeling which allows incorporation of Voice and Data simultaneous transmission while maintaining Quality of Services
• The potential applications of this system and program which are cost effective road traffic monitoring online TV,video broadcasting.
• Integrate Linksys Compact Wireless-G Internet Camera

Conclusion :

• Manage to work together as team.
• Come out with best solution for massive project.
• Revise fundamentals of networking learned in year 2 of studies.
• Developed a Next Generation Multi cast Video Channel System.
