Media Flows - Sources Of Error Controller  wrong DB entries (initial setup, device replacement, IS -04 querier issue)  BC -controller and SDN controller DBs are out of sync Source  source not active, not streaming  wrong IP(s) or multicast transmit address(es) Network  IGMP join / leave issues  static multicast issues  source specific multicast issues  oversubscription (ghost streams) Destination  IGMP join not sent  wrong multicast receive address(es) 13 track your media flows in real -time DataMiner Media Flow Tracking  read crosspoint status from SDN controller "where are all my flows supposed to be?"  check this status versus the real -time situation "where are my flows in reality?"  detect the flows which are there but should not be there 14 gather real -time information from source to destination „crawl" through the network D ataM iner flow monitoring and path visualization bandw idth uti lization stream ana lysis Start With The Source 15 Resolve Topology 16 Check Destinations 17 Drill Down To Details 18 Stream Issue Example 19 SUMMARY M ONITOR AND MANAGE YOUR PTP INFRASTRUCTURE WITH CARE 20 TRACK YOUR UNCOMPRESSED MEDIA FLOWS IN REAL -TIME GO FOR TRUE E2E SDN ORCHESTRATION RATHER THAN SDN CONTROL monitor control orchestrate 21 Thank You!
