Variable degrees of multimedia implementation and their impact on network elements
Richard Bence, Jody Fraser, Laura Linser · 1992
In developing an integrated document library for a NeXT LAN, we have experimented with multimedia applications and their implementation. In this paper we present results of this work including: issues of compression of different data types (e.g., voice, video, compound documents); demands placed on network bandwidth by multimedia documents in real-time, interactive use; processing loads generated by multimedia interactive use and impacts on perceived system performance; compound document and dynamically linked compound document file systems and their intra and internetwork transport; and real-time multimedia presentation durations determined by constraints of processing/storage requirements.
