Summary:We describe an architecture, based on the common object request
broker architecture (CORBA), for the communication support of quality of
service (QoS) sensitive networked multimedia applications. Shared by
both control and management entities, this architecture smoothly
integrates real-time QoS oriented communication services, such as those
offered now or planned for the future in the public network, with
everyday services of the Internet. A prototype system is presented which
features virtual interfaces that pass QoS information in both directions
between a network and an end system, a domain resources manager for
maintaining network control policies, and a streams architecture, as an
example of a virtual service that facilitates rapid service deployment
