Summary:The authors describe an architecture, based on the Common Object
Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) for communications support of QoS
sensitive networked multimedia applications. This architecture, which is
shared by both control and management entities, smoothly integrates
real-time QoS oriented communications services such as those offered in
the public telephone network, with everyday services of the Internet. A
prototype system is presented with a focus on virtual services that
facilitate rapid service deployment. A streams service and an N:1 push
service are described in detail as examples of virtual services. The
system also features, as supporting components, virtual interfaces that
pass QoS information in both directions between the network and an end
system, and a domain resources manager (DRM) for maintaining network
control policies
