The advent of multimedia technology is creating a number of new
problems in the fields of computer and communication systems.
Perhaps the most important of these problems in communication, and
certainly the most interesting, is that of designing networks to
carry multimedia traffic, including digital audio and video, with
acceptable quality. The main challenge in integrating the different
services needed by the different types of traffic into the same
network (an objective that is made worthwhile by its obvious
economic advantages) is to satisfy the performance requirements of
continuous media applications, as the quality of audio and video
streams at the receiver can be guaranteed only if bounds on delay,
delay jitters, bandwidth, and reliability are guaranteed by the
network. Since such guarantees cannot be provided by traditional
packet-switching technology, a number of researchers and research
groups during the last several years have tried to meet the
challenge by proposing new protocols or modifications of old ones,
to make packet-switching networks capable of delivering audio and
video with good quality while carrying all sorts of other traffic.
The focus of this book is on HeiTS (the Heidelberg Transport
System), and its contributions to integrated services network
design. The HeiTS architecture is based on using the Internet
Stream Protocol Version 2 (ST-II) at the network layer. The
Heidelberg researchers were the first to implement ST-II. The
author documents this activity in the book and provides thorough
coverage of the improvements made to the protocol. The book also
includes coverage of HeiTP as used in error handling, error
control, congestion control, and the full specification of ST2+, a
new version of ST-II. The ideas and techniques implemented by the
Heidelberg group and their coverage in this volume apply to many
other approaches to multimedia networking.
