Multimedia Requirements• To develop schemes for multi-access networks which can provide
performance guarantees.
• To develop a distribute route-selection strategy for point-to-point networks.
• Real-time multimedia applications require guaranteed performance communication services, such as throughput, delay, delay jitter and loss rate.
• The characteristics of a source, such as peak and average rate, are known at channel establishment time.
• Channel parameters have to be predicted in live continuous video sources.

Communication Service for Multimedia• Quality-of-service (QoS) support and group communication system:
• establishment and take-down of appropriately congured channels;• negotiation of QOS levels between end-systems, intermediate
systems, and network control; and• control of the agreed QOS level
• bandwidth, delay, delay jitter (variance), and reliability.
• Audio/Video groups can:• have static or dynamic memberships during their lifetime,• have centrally (typically sender) or distributedly (typically receiver) controlled
membership,• consist of members with homogeneous or be heterogeneous characteristics
and requirements.

Multimedia Communication System• Communication system - A system or facility capable of providing
information transfer between persons and equipment.
• CD-ROM: “Compact disk read-only memory.”
• Client-Server Model: A client makes a request and a server fulfills that request.
• Composite Video: Analog video signals can be broken down into parts such as luminance (Black & White) and chrominance (color).

Multimedia Communication System• LAN Access Method
• Routing
• Frame and Packet Structures
• Packet Discrimination
• Identify packets that require special handling.
• Be capable of accommodating those special requirements.
• Bandwidth Requirement, Reservation and Conservation
• High bandwidth and low latency

Multimedia Communication System Architecture• The ability to manage dynamically the achieved QoS of each service
component
• The possibility for users to select some resources that best meet their needs.
• The possibility to interact with another user whose equipment has differing characteristics.
• The communications network must allow any user to select the service components he/she wants:
• The possibility for users to join in or withdraw from a communication session according to certain policies, such as agreement of all interacting partners before admitting a new user.
• The possibility to set such quality of service parameters as the synchronization tolerance between the service components, the echo sensitivity, the burst sensitivity, and so on.

Multimedia Internet Protocols
• Multimedia over TCP
• Multimedia over UDP

RTP• Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) provides support for the
transport of real-time data such as video and audio streams.
• RTP needs support from lower layers that actually have control over resources in switches and routers
• RTP/RTCP provides functionality and control mechanisms necessary for carrying real-time content.
• RTP/RTCP itself is not responsible for the higher-level tasks like assembly and synchronization. These have to be done at application level.
RTCP• Real-Time Control Protocol extends RTP
• In an RTP session, participants periodically send RTCP packets to convey feedback on quality of data delivery and information of membership.
• Packets defined for carrying control information:• SR: Sender report, for transmission and reception statistics from session
participants that are• active senders.• RR: Receiver report, for reception statistics from session participants, that
are not active• senders.• SDES: Source description items, including CNAME• BYE: Indicates end of participation• APP: Application specific functions

Multimedia Internet Protocols• SAP & SDP
• Peer to peer communication, the concept of session.
• SIP• Signaling mechanisms that are necessary to establish a session and to
negotiate the parameters to be used in it, such as codecs, media, location, etc.
• MBONE Tools• SDR, VIC, VAT and RAT, WB, NTE.

Multimedia Internet Protocols• RSVP
• Network control protocol• Allows data receiver to request a special end-to-end quality of service for its
data flows.
• RTSP• A client-server multimedia presentation protocol to enable controlled delivery of
streamed multimedia data over IP network.• Aims to provide the same services on streamed audio and video just as HTTP
does for text and graphics.
