Abstract :
The authors consider the requirements for creating communication sessions in support of distributed multimedia applications proposed for future software-controlled broadband networks. They consider the architectural alternatives of centralized network functionality versus peripheral (in terminals or at the network fringes) functionality, and offer examples of where each is appropriate. They describe the EXPANSE experiment in communication session management and its capabilities for distributing functionality according to application needs
