Abstract :
We have designed an adaptable network architecture, called ADNET, which provides mechanisms to allow an application to adapt to resource constraints to achieve improved QoS. In our experiments we compare three schemes (IP fragmentation, ACTP fragmentation with or without active program) of video transmissions. We find QoS is improved in the ACTP scheme with active programs. Our design aims to unify different QoS control mechanisms together to provide a wide range of network services to all users and meet their specific needs
