Abstract

In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a media distribution system supporting priority-based quality-of-service (QoS) in home networks. We adopt the DLNA home networked device interoperability guidelines and the UPnP QoS architecture for interoperability of multimedia networking and QoS management among networked devices, respectively. Additionally, we use the IEEE 802.1p/Q for a link-layer priority-based QoS scheme in an Ethernet-based home network. By combining the DLNA guidelines with the UPnP QoS architecture-cum-the 802.1p/Q QoS scheme and integrating them into a home gateway and multimedia devices, we offers not only interoperability of media distribution among different networked devices but also easy to use management of QoS for multimedia
