Abstract :
Shark, a network file server for digital video and other continuous media data being developed at the IBM Almaden Research Center, is described. The high data rate and stringent time constraints of real-time video place heavy demands on a file server, and Shark implements a variety of novel features that enable it to efficiently handle video data. The Shark server runs on an RS/6000 workstation; implementations of the Shark client run on both AIX and OS/2.<>
