STRATEGIES FOR TRANSMISSION OF MULTIMEDIA INFORMATION ON ETHERNET

In order to transmit multimedia information on Ethernet efficiently,a transport level token passing strategy based on dynamic priority schedule of data packets is proposed in this paper.Controlling the packets sent to Ethernet can meet the strict timing requirements of multimedia information.Adopting this strategy,the multimedia desktop conferencing system TH MDCS can transmit efficiently video,audio,image,graphics,text and animation on a unique Ethernet.
