Abstract

A communication abstraction called real-time message streams (RMS) is proposed. An RMS is a simplex (unidirectional) stream with several performance and security parameters that express the needs of RMS clients and the capabilities of the RMS provider. RMS providers can eliminate unnecessary or redundant work and can optimally schedule resources; RMS clients can use the parameters to select optimal methods for achieving reliability and flow control. RMS is the communication primitive of the DASH distributed system, which is currently being developed. The role of RMS in the DASH communication architecture and techniques and algorithms for providing RMS at different system levels are described
