Abstract

This paper discusses the practical implementation of IP telephony over a cable TV network, in the most cost efficient manner. Another goal is to show that a single "hybrid" IP solution is suitable for commercial cable TV operators who wish to combine telephony infrastructure with lines switching in their networks. This solution will enable the use of traditional transmission protocols using lines switching, while the section between a subscriber and the base station will support a full suite of IP applications.
