Abstract
Audio-visual/data service delivery systems are based on complex network, distributed system and application architectures that enable the wide-area coordination, control, and delivery of audio, video, and data. One of the central logical components of these architectures are the transport/program/service streams used in storage and transmission of audio, video, and data. The composition of the transport/program/service streams is standardized by the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) in the MPEG-2 standard.
In this paper we give an overview of the issues involved in managing MPEG-2 based audio-visual/data distribution networks and present a brief analysis of the applicability of different architectural management frameworks and standards.
