OTT Video Streaming Report

OTT Video Streaming Report overview

The OTT Video Streaming Report provides video quality of experience information to ensure subscriber service level agreements are being met. The report shows the different bit rate measurements for application video usage data and the number of active sessions. The report indicates the number of sessions in different bit rate intervals and categorizes their streaming quality.

Note: The OTT video applications must be selected from the Application drop-down menu in the prompt section of the report.

Note: This report requires special study statistics collection by an NSP Flow Collector for each OTT video application. See the workflow to configure AA Cflowd special-study statistics collection in the NSP NFM-P Statistics Management Guide for configuration information.

If the user chooses an application that does not represent an OTT video application, the application will appear in the report but the information provided will be invalid. If the user chooses an OTT video application that is not configured for special studies collection, the application will not appear in the report.
