IP/TV deployment in an IP Telehphony Environment

[andy.g.mrozek]

We are setting up a Centralized IPTV deployment with control server at core site / and broadcast servers at remote sites. All PC's that will host IP TV client software access the backbone via the switch on the back of 7960 Phone's , the phone's strip all Cos from PC data as it goes thorugh it. I am curious on what Cisco's stance is on supporting IPTV with phones used as switches for PC's ? Does Cisco say NO don't do this as QoS for voice is affected or do they support this with a recomend Qos strategy such as putting video voice on Same DSCP level as say voice traffic from ip Phone ??? Anyone else has this setup ??

We actually have this setup internally within cisco. I don't think anything special was done to accomodate this (IPTV was in place before the phones were rolled out). Check the campus design guide for specifics:
