Why Was The Test Conducted?
IPTV Landscape matured since our 2007 testHow do vendors support service providers today
… to differentiate from the IPTV competition?… to create profitable advanced IP video services?… to implement scalable networks and data centers?
How much of Cisco’s vision of a medianet∗
is available today?
∗
Cisco refers to a network that is optimized for video as “medianet”

Data Center Results Summary
Nexus 5040 properly forwards FCoE/Eth traffic
mix from a single port
Video apps run fine; zero frames lost from line rate
traffic between two ports
Unified FabricProviders can make major
and minor Nexus 7010 code upgrades without taking it out of service
0 frames lost (full traffic profile with VDC)
In Service Software Upgrade
Using full medianet
traffic profile, Nexus 5000/7000 recover from link failure
in under one second using Virtual Device Contexts (VDC)
Data Center Resiliency
Nexus 1000V relocates virtual machine with new physical Ethernet port without
operator reconfiguration
