Multimedia communication networking architecture model for high speed network

This paper describes and discusses the modeling of multimedia communication networking architecture suitable to high speed networks such as LAN, B-ISDN, etc. for the flexible management and rapid introduction of services. In this model, the applications are deployed in units of software building blocks called group call server, service control server, resource management server and client agent. Each building block provides a layered view for the effective management of the multimedia network resources and services. In this paper, we propose a service scenario scheme and multimedia logical devices model for the flexible generation and effective management of services, and abstracting the network resources, respectively. Finally, this paper presents an architecture evolution model toward interoperability in a distributed processing environment (DPE). This can be applied for interoperability between multimedia network resources provided by different vendors
