Media Delivery Index

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The media delivery index (MDI) is a measurement for IPTV networks which gives an indication of expected video quality based on network level (IP) measurements. It is independent of the video encoding scheme and is a lightweight, scalable alternative to measurements that decode and examine the video itself.[1]

The media delivery index is typically displayed as two numbers separated by a colon: the delay factor (DF) and the media loss rate (MLR).[2]
