Abstract
The increasing success of Video on Demand and IPTV services poses several challenges to both network operators and service providers. Due to their heavy bandwidth requirement and the high concentration of requests during peak times, implementing these services efficiently without compromising the Quality of Experience of customers is not a trivial task. While Fibre to the premises promise to deliver enough bandwidth to enable next generation high fidelity video on demand, the bandwidth bottleneck will move towards the network core, as the capacity gap between the access and core segments of the network is eroded.
