The characterising new requirement for distributed multimedia applications is the coexistence of dynamic real-time and non-real-time applications on hosts and networks. While some...
W e investigate packet discarding schemes for TCP over ATM with UBR service. In doing so, we tested the eflective throughput of two existing schemes, Partial Pnwlcet Discard(PPD) ...
We describe the distributed high performance computing system we have developed to integrate together a heterogeneous set of high performance computers, high capacity storage syst...

This paper describes a highly available distributedvideo on demand (VoD) service which is inherently fault tolerant. The VoD service is provided by multiple servers that reside at...
Video on Demand (VoD) services are very appealing these days. In this work, we discuss four distinct alternatives for the architecture of a VoD server and compare their performanc...
