Abstract :
As Web-based services increasingly include streaming media, broadband service providers must address the challenges inherent in the real-time delivery of high-bandwidth content over a best-effort network. The Multilevel Buffer Architecture is a buffering mechanism for MPEG-4 decoder players, providing a set of services for accommodating network jittering, precise A/V sync, and QoS management.
