Abstract

Streaming of multimedia content, i. e. the transmission of audio and video data in real-time gains more and more importance due to the increasing availability of digital audio/video devices. In a typical home environment several networks can be used for that purpose. This paper gives an overview of the available technologies pointing out the features of IEEE 1394 and IP based networks. Furthermore it covers principal concepts for coupling of several streaming networks.
