            8.2     High level description of functions
            8.2.1   Management functions

            The management functions are a set of functions providing operation, administration, maintenance, and
            provisioning (OAM&P) for the MC-Streaming service. Network operators can deploy this set of functions in a
            centralized  or  in  a  distributed  environment.  The  detailed  discussion  is  outside  the  scope  of  this
            Recommendation, and is not discussed herein.
            8.2.2   Content provider functions

            This set of functions is offered by authorized entities owning content copyright. Content provider functions
            provide the content and associated metadata (e.g., content-protection-rights sources, content sources, and
            metadata sources for the streaming service) for content control. Since this part is offered by third parties, it
            is also outside the scope of this Recommendation.

            8.3     Functional entities
            Functional entities in MC-Streaming impact all the functional entities in the multi-connection architecture.
            But, additionally, four new entities are introduced in the application layer:
            1.      MSAC-FE
            2.      MSUP-FE

            3.      MSCC-FE
            4.      MSCD-FE


                                                                                                         363
