Adaptive resource reservation algorithm for multimedia document delivery over the Internet

The Internet with its existing protocols can not support the delivery of multimedia applications, which include text, audio, images and video. These objects if combined will require a high bandwidth and put some constraints on the end-to-end delay. The resource reservation protocol (RSVP) enable multimedia applications to reserve resources in the Internet to achieve the required QoS. However, multimedia documents ate different in their reservation requirement than other applications, where audio and video objects may be triggered at certain periods during the presentation of the document. We propose a resource reservation scheme for multimedia documents according to their playback scenario.
