OVERVIEW
Ivivo's overlay network solution ensures consistent, predictable online media
transfer on a global scale, even under the most challenging of Internet conditions.
The OMP system designs and builds the most suitable Overlay Network for a specific
media session in real time. In addition, the OMP system identifies users whose
resources (HW and network connectivity) are the most suitable to serve as a Node
for that session (I-Node).
Ivivo's dynamic mapping system directs user requests for the media to the optimal
Node based on its unique logic which taking into consideration geographical proximity.
Route optimization technology identifies the fastest and most reliable path to a media
source that is the most suitable node or, if none exists the original media source.
The OMP server creates Rules for the "I-Node" clients which optimize the media traffic
flow and provide alternate roots in case of media source failure.
The system monitors its overlay network to maintain routing which guarantees a successful
end user experience.
Overlay-network Management Platform (OMP)
At the heart of the outstanding performance of the IVIVO media communication & distribution
network is a patent-pending Ivivo Overlay-network Management Platform (OMP).
The OMP is a Global dynamic node decision-maker engine that dynamically builds the optimum
Overlay-net for any specific video session to obtain the best routing by direct users- to
the Node located nearest to them, or to the node that will best serve them in terms of content
speed, reliability and quality. For optimal performance, the Overlay-Net accounts for user
network paths & congestion, geographical location, network speed and other property parameters
when making a routing decision. The OMP monitors the global presence of nodes in order to
ensure smooth delivery of media content online.
IVIVO’s cost effective global content delivery platform pinpoints locations all over the world
and routes users to locations to best serve them. These strategic global locations allow users
to receive flawless live video streaming at any point in the world.
IVIVO supports multi platforms:
Linux
Microsoft Windows
Max OS X
BeOS, *BSD
Solaris
Yopy / Linupy
QNX
A Pentium 100 MHz with 32MB RAM is enough to deliver a single stream
over the network.
Even when delivering multi streams, the barriers are the hard drive and the network
connection - rather than the CPU.
I-Node
Intelligent Node Engine
Transforms the end-user device into a potential node of the Overlay Network™ platform
by providing the broadcasting of streaming media to other nodes.
Interfaces with end-user media player (digital right management secured) which displays
the media. I-Nodes monitor the quality of the displayed media and in the case of a
streaming breakdown, react accordingly to ensure optimal QOS.
The I-Node:
- interfaces with the most popular Media players: MS Player, Real Player, Flash Player, VLC.
- is compatible with all popular media formats: WMV, FLV, MPEG 1,2,4 , H264.3,Real
- operates on all platforms: PC (Windows ,Linux), MAC, Hand held devices (Windows mobile, Simbian), SETUP BOXES.
