Chapter 8Final conclusions pThe continuous piggyback request and the piggyback request mechanisms have alreadybeen included as part of the functionality of the DVB/DAVIC MAC protocol.The performance comparison of the enhanced-reservation request mechanisms providedin this dissertation considered fixed piggyback values (e.g. 0, 4, 8 and 12 for PG and 1,4, 8 and 12 for CPG). According to the new protocol specification these values (withthe exception of the first one, which is always fixed) could be up to 255. An additionalanalysis would be to provide a performance optimisation of the piggyback values forthese two strategies using different traffic configurations (e.g. Internet traffic, burstytraffic, VoIP, Video conferencing, multimedia traffic, etc.).The analysis of connection priorities would allow the DVB/DAVIC protocol toprioritise traffic transmissions. A connection with low priority can be reprovisioned inorder to accommodate the requirements of connections with high priority. The newprotocol specification defines up to 255 levels of priorities as indicated in Table 8.3.This functionality would require an improved scheduler algorithm at the INA, whichgives preference to connections with higher priority.Table 8.3 – Priorities for connections.ApplicationPriority valuesStandard data flow applications 0-7932 - bitIP headerUDP headerRTP headerversion IHLToSlengthID numberflagsfragmentation offsetTTL protocol header checksumsource addressdestination addresssource portdestination portlengthheader checksumv P X CC MPTsequencetime stampSSRCCSRC listIHL: Internet Header LengthToS: Type of ServiceTTL: Time To Livev: versionP: PaddingX: Extension bitCC: CSRC CountCSRC: Contributing source identifiers listSSRC: Synchronisation sourcefixed fieldvariable fieldFigure 8.1 – Fixed fields for RTP/UDP/IP headers.8-19
