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
