A software platform for multiway audio distribution over the Internet
Orion Hodson, Socrates Varakliotis, Vicky Hardman · 1998
this paper we briefly discuss methods of real-time multimedia delivery, and identify issues of particular importance for music transmission over the Internet. For music coding researchers interested in using RAT to exploit their research, we present an overview of the architecture of the Robust Audio Tool and specifically focus on codec integration into RAT. Finally, we present some off-line performance measurements of a public domain MPEG1 music codec that has recently been integrated into RAT, and illustrate Internet performance in terms of packet loss, and variable transit delays
