IPTV (Internet Protocol
Television) is a method used for distributing television signals over an IP

the service provider either as a satellite or digital multicast streamed
signal. At this point the streamed IP channels are fed to the network core
switch and from there distributed to network outlets through the property via
the building LAN.
The LAN design will be
scaled to manage all required number of channels and will be capable of future
expansion.

service, IP encoded television signals can be made available at any network
point, however it is normal practice to segregate IPTV onto a VLAN and
