Kent,
It's great to see you're flying the "hybrid fiber/copper" flag!
Most video codecs are designed to spit out monotonic streams of (nearly) equal
sized frames. These frames will either be at the MTU size or as long as the VSP
dares to make them (many will limit the frame size to 1024 bytes for
superstitious reasons). The data stream will consist of many (i.e. >20) frames
at the maximum size followed by one short frame.
Note that a gigabit link will be able to carry 200-400 streams of unicast or
multicast video, so it will take a large number of subscribers to fill the pipe
(& therefore stress the efficiency).
