: The explosive growth of the Internet and the intranets attracted a great deal of attention to the implementations and performances of networked multimedia services, which involve the transport of real-time multimedia streams over non-guaranteed quality of service (QoS) networks. In this paper, we discuss some issues related to the transport of MPEG-2 streams over such networks by means of the most recent transport protocols compliant with the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) [1] defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). MPEG-2 encoded audio and video transmission is important for several applications including high quality video-on-demand as a part of information-on-demand and high quality video conferencing using the existing network infrastructures. 1. INTRODUCTION Multimedia transport protocols play an important role in the effective delivery and networking of multimedia data. In recent years, several application and transport protocols have been developed. In this...
