Abstract

In order to realize multimedia applications such as VOD (Video-on-Demand) on highspeed networks, a client-agent-server video system which provides continuous media data such as audio and video to users has to guarantee suitable QoS (Quality of Service) in accordance with users´ requirements, and available computing and network resources during providing media data to users. Therefore the client-agent-server system must include functions which guarantee end-to-end QoS between client and server from the application through network layers. In this paper, we define a Media Coordinate System which has QoS functions, specify QoS negotiation protocols, implement the media coordinate system as a prototyped Video-on-Demand and evaluate its performance
