ATM Connection and Traffic Management Schemes for Multimedia Internetworking

摘要

The rapid advances being made in microprocessor technology have stimulated significant interest in distributed multimedia applications supported by highspeed desktop computers and high-speed networks. Examples of distributed multimedia applications include multimedia database retrieval, distributed multimedia documents, and video mail. Due to the large amount of multimedia traffic for audio/visual applications, these applications require highspeed networks to retrieve data in real time, instead of huge local disk storage.
