Summary:In this paper we present a distributed architecture for the
existing and the emerging Internet for providing synchronized virtual
channels (SVCs) to support presentation of multimedia information. The
SVC architecture (SVCA) provides both intra-stream and inter-stream
synchronization using resources available over the Internet and
implementing distributed transmission scheduling mechanisms. We also
propose a set of quality of presentation (QOP) parameters that quantify
the quality of multimedia presentation from the user's point of view.
Based on these parameters, we evaluate the proposed architecture and
provides trade-offs between the QOP parameters and the required network
resources to maintain this quality. Subsequently, these trade-offs are
used to generate an optimal schedule for transmission of multimedia
information over the SVCA. We also present protocol mechanisms to
realize the SVCA
