EuroPacketCable Multimedia
The EuroPacketCable Multimedia specification describes a general-purpose platform designed to provide quality of service to a wide range of IP-based, QoS demanding multimedia services such as live video, audio streaming, videoconferencing, VoD (Video on Demand), gaming, VoIP over SIP,... The specification includes solutions for billing and network security.
EuroPacketCable Multimedia is based on the US specification PacketCableTM Multimedia developed by CableLabs®. The only deviation between the European and US version is that the European version works on top of EuroDOCSIS instead of DOCSIS®.
Although it uses similar protocols as in EuroPacketCable, deployment of EuroPacketCable Mulitmedia does not require VoIP support. EuroPacketCable Multimedia sits alongside of EuroPacketCable and interoperability and compatibility are guaranteed when deploying both standards in parallel.
