8.Summary of Research Results
|
The main objective of the project is to build an integrated network architecture for realizing
advanced multimedia application systems. Several networking technologies − Internet, ATM
(Asynchronous Transfer Mode), and xDSL (Digital Subscriber Line) - are integrated to support
various multimedia applications requiring different types of QoS(Quality of Services). 1997 BULDING TEST-BED A test-bed for experimentation of existing networking technologies has been developed at Osaka University, Japan. This test-bed combines various networking technologies including Internet, ATM, xDSL, and CATV. 1998 APPLICATION PROTOTYES Several Prototypes of advanced multimedia applications have been developed on the test−bed. Requirements of those application prototypes on future networking technologies have been clarified. 1999 NETWORK ARCHITECTURE An integrated network architecture has been designed and proposed. Protocols in three layers (i.e., link, network, and transport layers) have also been designed. 2000 IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION We are currently working on implementing proposed protocols. After finishing implementation, performance evaluation of the proposed protocols will be performed. We also plan to participate in standardization activities. 2001 FINAL INTEGRATION The proposed protocols in three layers will be integrated. Effectiveness of our network architecture will be demonstrated using several advanced multimedia applications. |
