Real-Time Applications on the Internet

  • Chapter
The Internet and Beyond

Part of the book series: BT Telecommunications Series ((BTTS,volume 15))

Abstract

A real-time application must include some time critical element. This could be a discrete message such as a mouse movement controlling a shared whiteboard. Or it could be an isochronous media stream, i.e. a continuous stream of bits with strict time dependencies between those bits.
