Abstract

In this paper we present an experimental approach for QoS-aware and bandwidth-efficient transmission of multimedia sources over ATM networks. VBR video sources are statistically multiplexed at the application level and the UPC parameters of a single connection for the aggregate traffic are dynamically renegotiated with the network during the session lifetime. A statistical multiplexer computes the required bandwidth for the aggregate traffic and dynamically assigns bandwidth according to the performances requested and network resources availability. A dynamic UPC manager using feedback information sent by the network, may initiate a renegotiation of traffic parameters upon receiving a request from the statistical multiplexer. Performing the connection admission control procedures for the aggregate traffic, allows significant reductions in the value of the total peak rate when compared to the sum of peak rates of individual connections. It also reduces the burstiness of the flow submitted to the network, thus increasing the lifetime of each set of UPC parameters.
