Packet loss is one of the principal threats to quality of experience
for IPTV systems. However, the packet loss characteristics of the
residential access networks which carry IPTV are not widely understood.
We present packet level measurements of streaming IPTV-like traffic
over four residential access links, and describe the extent and nature
of packet loss we encountered. We discuss the likely impact of these
losses for IPTV traffic, and outline steps which can ameliorate this.
