Folks,
I have a real-world question.
Following is the situation:
1) 2 Core Data Centers (Philly & Houston) providing content
2) Core Data centers downlink to ISP is DS3 (45 Mbps)
3) SP Cloud is MPLS based VPN
4) Basically, all this is in an MPLS-based VPN intranet
5) The customer-side is T1 (or) DSL
6) This network is supposed to be delivering web-based Video content
7) There're 2 Secondary Data-centers (In Texas) that will pull the
content from the core & then deliver to the customer location
(US-wide)

PROVIDER MPLS CLOUD
(Secondary Data Center)
====================================

| T1 1.54 Mbps | DSL 750 Kbpd

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Questions:
1) Can we deliver the video (which is going to be in the form of 30
mins video clips) ?
2) What are the BEST DESIGN practises to follow for multimedia network
design ( what are good resources/ books) ?
3) How to TEST this type of a network in a LAB ?
4) What tools could be used to simulate this scenario w/ traffic ?
5) How's capacity planning done (in general) ? (By small to medium
scale companies)
Thanks in advance & I look fwd to having a resourceful discussion.
