About this title

Synopsis

We arehappy to welcome you to the IFIP Protocols for High-Speed Networks '96 workshop hosted by INRIA Sophia Antipolis. This is the fifth event in a series initiated in Zurich in 1989 followed by Palo Alto (1990), Stockholm (1993), and Vancouver (1994). This workshop provides an international forum for the exchange of information on protocols for high-speed networks. The workshop focus on problems related to the e:fficient transmission of multimedia application data using high-speed networks and internetworks. Protocol for High-Speed Networks is a "working conference". That explains we have privileged high quality papers describing on-going research and novel ideas. The number of selected papers was kept low in order to leave room for discussion on each paper. Together with the technical sessions, working sessions were organized on hot topics. We would like to thank all the authors for their interest. We also thank the Program Committee members for the Ievel of effort in the reviewingprocess and in the workshop technical program organization. We finally thank INRIA and DRET for their financial support to the organization of the workshop.

Synopsis

This book presents a state-of-the-art view of transmission control for multimedia applications and new communication system architectures. It focuses on the problems of achieving efficient transmission of multimedia time-constrained application data using high-speed networks and internetworks. The key areas include: protocol development; quality of service issues; protocol analysis; high-performance architectures; implementation of high-speed protocols; experimental studies; application-oriented issues; application-controlled communication systems; protocols for distributed multimedia applications; and, protocol implementation tools.
