| Abstract: |
One of the major challenges facing
designers of distributed multimedia applications is how to deal with
the wide range of networks and end systems that support such
applications. These networks range from those providing high speed
and multiservice facilities to lower speed wireless based networks
supporting mobility. In this project we propose to look at the
feasibility of using the active network approach, where streams
carry with them code tailored to adapt the stream to suit different
network characteristics thus allowing them to make best use of
changing network load and capacity. The proposed system would be
implemented over Ipv6 with JAVA support in routes and end-systems.
