Abstract
This paper describes an implementation of an application level gateway for connecting adaptive applications using hierarchical encoded video across ATM and IP networks. The gateway participates in RSVP and ATM signaling. The signaling information, as well as local information about processing load, is used by the receivers to decide the number of layers to join, and by the sources to fine tune the bitrates of the layers to the available capacities. Our approach pushes layering related complexity to the edge of the network, and allows us to use standard ATM UNI and RSVP signaling. The gateway participates in a modified session directory (SDR) protocol, to learn the addressing information necessary to perform signaling translation, and to enable layered sessions to be visible across the IP/ATM boundary. By considering all aspects of the problem, especially session directory issues and dynamic bandwidth selection for the layered hierarchy, we have implemented a system that is much more complete than any of the previous prototypes of layered multicasting. This paper describes the implementation experience and presents some measurements of the performance of the gateway.
