Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation ofa user-level real-time network system in Real-Time Mach. Traditionalnetwork systems for microkernel based operating systems, whichtend to focus on high performance and flexibility, are not suitablefor real-time communication. Our network system provides a frameworkfor implementing real-time network protocols which require tobound protocol processing time, and it is suitable for implementingon microkernel based operating systems. In this paper, we especiallyfocus on the aspects to avoid the priority inversion problemin order to make network systems more preemptable and predictable.We also describe the feasibility of our network system for buildingdistributed multimedia systems.
