            Abstract : 
This paper discusses both Quality of Service (QoS) information signaling and IPTV traffic engineering options that may serve as key components of IPTV service-specific QoS policies, which are designed to accommodate with customers´ requirements and constraints (such as access capabilities) as well as ever-changing networking conditions that may possibly affect the level of quality associated to the delivery of such services.
