We present the design, and preliminary performance results, for a
system that transports uncompressed HDTV content over IP networks. Our
system is motivated by the growth in use of digital video, and the ever
increasing capacity of local- and wide-area Internet links. We aim to
demonstrate the feasibility of IP as a transport for very high quality
video, and to highlight areas where performance bottlenecks exist and
further development is needed. To this end, our system is constructed
from commodity components, and was tested over existing commercial IP
backbone networks. Performance was shown to be good, with the end
system being the main limiting factor.
