Development of a Testbed for Investigation of ATM-Based Packet Video Concepts

摘要

This report documents the accomplishments of a program to implement and utilizean ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) testbed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The testbed is part of a variety of ongoing projects in the Center for Image Processing Research (CIPR). Two examples of projects employing the testbed are described in detail. The first is the development of innovative approaches to distributed distance learning using multimedia. The second is the realistic evaluation of promising approaches to the delivery of multimedia over ATM-based Broadband ISDN Networks.
