Abstract

Collaborative multimedia applications are becoming mainstream business tools. Useful work can only be performed if the subjective quality of the application is adequate. This is influenced by many factors including the end-system and network performance. End-to-end delay has been identified as a significant parameter affecting the user's satisfaction with the application. Earlier work has determined acceptable delay bounds for undertaking real tasks. This paper describes an investigation of the system components that contribute to this delay. The components contributing to the delay of audio and video have been measured and the major sources identified.
