Abstract
The design and implementation of the transport layer of a native ATM protocol stack and its embedding into an overall architecture that provides end-to-end quality of service (QOS) is presented. Within this architecture, the typical transport functionalities are enlarged with QOS monitoring and adaptation mechanisms. A QOS-based application programming interface is proposed that shields application programmers from the complexity of QOS management and control. Both unicast and multicast connections supporting interactive multimedia applications are considered. 1. Introduction Over the past several years, substantial research effort has been invested in designing architectures in support of quality of service. Typically, the work has been carried out within the context of a single architectural layer [4]. In the telecommunications community, a fair amount of effort has been devoted to the design of connection oriented network architectures that support QOS guarantees for broadband netw...
