Protocol Support for Distributed Multimedia Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe ongoing work in protocol support for distributed multimedia applications. This work concerns the provision of suitable transport mechanisms to convey multimedia information (text, and digital voice and video) between multimedia workstations in a distributed system. There are two parts to the Lancaster multimedia work. First, we have developed an abstract model for multimedia communications that is based on the use of streams; and second, we have built an experimental system on which to test the implementation of protocols based on this model. This paper reports on both aspects of the Lancaster work, describing the results so far and identifying areas to be investigated further.

Support For Multimedia On The Web
Distributed multimedia applications are currently being supported by a growing number of services. However, characteristic requirements of these applications such as higher bandwidth, bounded transmission delay, channel synchronization etc. have led to the need for efficient protocols and schemes used at all layers of the protocol stack from the network to the application layer. An attempt has ...
متن کاملCore-based Routing with QoS Support for Distributed Interactive Multimedia Applications
Distributed interactive multimedia applications such as video conferencing and virtual collaboration applications typically involve frequent interactions among multiple distributed parties. These applications require an efficient networking support such as core-based routing with Quality of Service (QoS) support. Typical core-based routing selects one router as a core for a multicast group and ...
متن کاملQuality of Service Management in Distributed Systems
The integration of distributed multimedia systems support into a communications architecture including the new multiservice networks is important for realising the next generation of open systems standards: it is also a significant technical challenge. A key observation is that Quality of Service (QoS) provides a unifying theme on which the functions and facilities of the new integrated standar...
متن کاملA Flexible and Adaptive Transport System Architecture to Support Lightweight Protocols for Multimedia Applications on High-Performance Networks
Transport systems integrate operating system services such as memory and process management together with communication protocols that utilize these OS services to support distributed applications running on local and wide area networks. Existing transport systems do not customize their services to meet the quality-of-service requirements of distributed applications. This often forces developer...
متن کاملFlexible Communication Protocol for Wide-area Group
In distributed applications, a group of multiple processes is required to be cooperated by exchanging multimedia data. In addition, world-wide distributed applications are being realized by using the Internet. The traditional group communication protocols assume that every pair of processes support almost the same and xed delay time and reliability level. In world-wide multimedia applications, ...
