Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to investigate and construct a new generalized framework for VOD transmission on future high-speed BISDN in order to make every multimedia-based server serve the same information service to large volume of users simultaneously by using some new concepts and mechanisms of UNIX. The socket mechanism of 4.3 BSD UNIX, playing a critical role in the framework, has been studied. The software developments have already been made. In addition, some future works on the generalized framework have been pointed out briefly
