Abstract :
Supporting uninterrupted delivery in distributed continuous media servers is not a trivial task. We propose an eager pipelining policy that allows distributed continuous media servers to utilize resources, that are otherwise unused, to support a display. We also propose a delivery technique that enables continuous media servers to deliver objects at multiple rates
