Predicting traffic generated by multimedia sources is needed for effective dynamic
bandwidth allocation and for multimedia quality-of-service (QoS) control strategies …

This paper proposes a service for multicast video distribution based on the active network
paradigm. Active nodes can provide soft-state and perform customized computations on a …

For the transport of multicast video, the use of multi-layered coding is one of the most
promising techniques. To avoid feedback implosion at the source due to the control packets …

Through a detailed analysis of theoretical and real MPEG-compressed video streams, this
paper addresses the task of extracting deterministic parameters from such sources in order …

This article proposes the XGOP-B deterministic traffic model for MPEG video services
requiring strict bounds on the quality of service provided by the network. The XGOP-B model …

Traffic specification plays a crucial role in the resource reservation for video services over
the packet-switching networks. The current development of QoS-guaranteed service still …

The most stringent applications in the future will require network services with bounded-
delay characteristics. In order to e ciently use the network resources, an accurate …
