AMnet: Active Multicasting Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
Today we are faced with an increasing variety of networks and end systems. The resulting heterogeneous environment imposes new challenges on communication support for multimedia and collaborative applications. AMnet is an approach that provides multipoint communication support for large-scale groups with heterogeneous receivers. Active network nodes are used to deliver data streams with user-tailored QoS. They provide so-called QoS filters that remove information from continuous media streams in order to reduce data rate for low-end receivers without affecting high-end receivers. A prototype implementation of AMnet based on RSVP is presented.

Active multicasting for heterogeneous groups
Communication environments are becoming increasingly heterogeneous. This imposes new challenges on communication support for multimedia and collaborative applications. AMnet (Active Multicasting Network) provides multi-point communication support for large-scale groups with heterogeneous receivers. Active Multicasting nodes inside the network include so-called QoS filters that remove informatio...
متن کاملAMnet: Heterogeneous Multicast Services based on Active Networking
AMnet flexibly provides communication services inside the network. It is based on active networking and on a hardware/software codesign in order to improve efficiency. Group communication is explicitly addressed since it is an important paradigm for future network applications. However, the variety of applications, network technologies, end systems, and user preferences restricts multicast comm...
متن کاملAmnet: Efficient Heterogeneous Group Communication through Rapid Service Creation
Abstract AMnet provides a framework for flexible and rapid service creation. It is based on Active and Programmable Networking technologies and uses active nodes (AMnodes) within the network. These AMnodes execute so called service modules to make user-tailored data streams available to individual receivers. This paper focuses on the goal of AMnet to design a platform for AMnodes which is shape...
متن کاملAMnet: efficient and flexible provision of heterogeneous multicast services
AMnet provides a framework for flexible and rapid service creation. Its primary goal is to provide customized multicast services on demand, thus providing a framework for a flexible open communication platform. AMnet is based on active and programmable networking technologies and uses active nodes (AMnodes) within the network. These AMnodes are executing on-demand loadable service modules to en...
متن کاملA Node Evaluation Mechanism for Service Setup in AMnet
AMnet is a programmable network that aims at the flexible and rapid creation of services within an IP network. Examples for typical services include network layer enhancements e.g. for multicast and mobility, transport layer enhancements e.g. to integrate wireless LANs, and various application layer services e.g. for media transcoding and content distribution. AMnet is based on regular Linux bo...
