Abstract

A primary requirement in multimedia applications is the guarantee of user level services performance, such as data stream synchronization and service quality control. Necessary control mechanisms and network strategies have to be installed to satisfy this requirement. However, applications with a different user emphasis require different controlling strategies, which in turn set up the requirements for both the underlying network and upper layer application control. How to analyse various user demands and effectively implement them is the key to success. This paper describes some concerns in multimedia synchronization, and arising from the discussion, a synchronization protocol for high quality and single-point playout applications is proposed.
