An extensible framework for RTP-based multimedia applications

An extensible framework for RTP-based multimedia applications is described. The authors first describe the design process that led to a streaming architecture and illustrate why this is a useful model when developing network-oriented multimedia applications. They then consider the extensibility and flexibility of the framework developed. Finally, they describe design considerations and usage models for several key components in the above framework. The document describes joint work by Intel and Microsoft in the area of networked multimedia streaming.

Network filters for Active Movie

The authors present a set of filters that extend the Active Movie COM based streaming model on the Windows operating system to span multiple machines over a TCP/IP network. The filters implement the real time protocol and they have successfully built a set of Mbone conferencing applets and an IP/PSTN bridge with these components.
