Transport Stream Structure
The transport stream structure tables are updated after an update in the
transport stream structure and never more than once every 5 seconds:
 supPhoIOTSTable
 supPhoIOServiceTable
 supPhoIOPIDTable

supPhoIONITDeliverySystemTable
Algorithm to get transport stream structures is as follows:
1. Wait for the notification of a transport stream structure change (SNMP trap).
2. Read and store the time of the last update (t1).
3. Read the content of the 4 following tables:
- supPhoIOTSTable
- supPhoIOServiceTable
- supPhoIOPIDTable
- supPhoIONITDeliverySystemTable
4. Read and store again the time of the last update (t2).
5. If t1 is equal to t2:
- The reading is good (no update during the reading step)
- Send the measurements to the task in charge to handle them
else :
- The reading is false (an update occurred during the reading step)
- Discard the measurements
6. Go to step 1.
