Digital television based on ISO MPEG-2 is now widely deployed. The Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) standards that are used for this service in Europe, and many parts of the world, also allow the same system to transmit Internet Protocol (IP) data. Satellites, terrestrial broadcast, and cable systems are well suited to the delivery of high bandwidth data to the end user. DVB/MPEG-2 transmission offers a good solution to this last mile delivery problem. In addition the low transport overhead and ready availability of MPEG-2 make it very appealing as an Internet-work IP bearer. This paper therefore compares existing and recently proposed methods for transmission of IP data over digital television networks, to examine their behaviour and overall efficiency. (7 pages)
