Abstract
The technology of application development is currently shifting to use IPv6 5,6,9 as a main protocol instead of IPv4. This includes multimedia streaming, which has been an important tool for communication, locally and internationally. The need for multimedia based application in IPv6 is further supported with the use of IPv6 in 3G implementation. Even though a lot of conferencing systems available for current use, there are very few that supports IPv6. This paper discusses the design for multimedia (audio and video) streaming in IPv6 using point to point and multicast technology. The main topic in this paper is socket level programming that has been defined in the API.
