A novel ACSE protocol with comprehensive QoS support for multimedia communications in Chorus

A connection establishment protocol for multimedia communication residing at the OSI application layer is presented. The new protocol (C-MACSE) adopts a comprehensive approach for Quality of Service (QoS), as it incorporates resource management strategies for the CPU scheduling and the virtual memory of a conventional multimedia workstation, running the extended Chorus microkernel operating system. The C-MACSE protocol provides services for the negotiation, renegotiation and monitoring of the comprehensive QoS.
