Distributed multimedia applications can be characterized into two types of interaction, nonconversation and conversation, where discrete media and continuous media data are involved respectively. The two application types have distinct requirements in terms of delay to support interactive services, particularly under shared virtual environment. Conversational interactive type application continuous media is mainly focused, a limited delay is required for achieving real-time service guarantees and for maintaining temporal relationship, or synchronization. In this paper, we apply the internet delay model to the conversational type application for distributed multimedia data under shared virtual environment on the internet to analyze the performance of the bounded delay value. The simulation results show the delay variation of continuous multimedia data apparently at the clients and a server under dynamic case consideration which represents the delay characteristic of the application on the internet.
