Abstract

There will be quality requirements posed on network transfers of video information. They stem from the timing of the temporal sampling, and from perceptual limits on delay and loss that are given by the use of the transfers. Loss and delay exceeding these limits impede the information exchange between users and may render a service useless. This paper is a review of video communication over ATM networks with overviews of source coding, bit rate regulation, quality requirements, traffic characterization and ATM traffic classes.
