How the OVS System Communicates

Sessions in Asymmetric Networks
In asymmetric networks each client session contains:
■
an upstream circuit carrying control messages from the client to the OVS, and
■
a downstream circuit carrying control messages and delivers video from the
OVS to the client
Figure 2–10
shows a client and its session with the OVS.

Communication in an asymmetric network
How Client Devices Connect to the OVS
A client connects to the OVS by following these steps:
1.
OVC obtains a Media Net address from the OVS. This address allows the client
to communicate with components of the OVS through Oracle Media Net.
2.
OVC establishes a session with the OVS that includes one or more circuits so
that the OVS can send and receive control messages to and from the client and
deliver video to the client.
Some broadband networks contain a service provider called a level 1 gateway
(L1GW) that acts as a proxy for the client by contacting the OVS and establishing a
session and circuits for the client.
