Abstract

This paper presents a new protocol architecture for distributed multimedia systems which includes a new and general protocol layer for the transport of multimedia objects. The proposed protocols are based on the use of two extended timed and time Petri net models that specify the synchronisation requirements of multimedia applications. After presenting these two formal models, it is shown how they have been used to design the general multimedia architecture whose transport layer is based on the concept of a partial order connection, an extension of the classical connection oriented (e.g., TCP) and connectionless (e.g., UDP) transmission concepts.
