Abstract

We propose an extension to enable applications that can take full advantage of ATM SVC services. The proposed extension, the adaptive broadband extension (ABE), has the following advantages: (1) systems can appropriately invoke VC establishment taking into account the application requirements recognized at the application layer, e.g., file size and video bit-rate; (2) information providers can upgrade their systems with the proposed extension while preserving connectivity with existing WWW clients; (3) service quality, such as transfer speed and jitter are improved without the need to modify old muitimedia/hypermedia scripts, e.g., HTML. We are now planning to implement ABE-Web systems on a wide ATM SVC network. Security enhancement is another issue to be pursued
