Multimedia Networking Issues: Mms2401 - Multimedia Systems & Communications (3 Credits)

This document discusses various issues related to multimedia networking and quality of service (QoS). It outlines common network issues like cable problems, connectivity issues, and excessive collisions. It also describes multimedia network issues such as over buffering, slow servers, latency, and frame drops. The document discusses error resilience techniques and how decoders handle errors. It defines various networking characteristics such as availability, cost, reliability, security, speed, scalability, and topology. Finally, it covers QoS, how QoS prioritizes important traffic, and factors that affect measuring QoS like human and technical factors.

 Freezing Issues
Error Resilience

 Error Resilience decides how the decoder behaves if some value in the
input is against the specification: whether it assumes it is a minor encoder
mistake and "extends" the standard to give a meaning to that input or
whether it assumes the input is corrupted and it should apply error
concealment, i.e. assuming this and surrounding data have no relation
with what the video really should look like and thus will try to reconstruct
something reasonable-looking e.g. from the previous frame.
 This is not a speed related option (while error concealment is very slow that
is not relevant, if it is used when it shouldn't be or the other way round the
result will look very horrible).
Networking Characteristics

 Availability.
Availability is typically measured in a percentage based on the number of minutes that exist in a year. Therefore, uptime
would be the number of minutes the network is available divided by the number of minutes in a year.
 Cost
includes the cost of the network components, their installation, and their ongoing maintenance.
 Reliability
defines the reliability of the network components and the connectivity between them. Mean time between failures (MTBF)
is commonly used to measure reliability.
 Security
includes the protection of the network components and the data they contain and/or the data transmitted between
them.
 Speed
includes how fast data is transmitted between network end points (the data rate).
 Scalability
defines how well the network can adapt to new growth, including new users, applications, and network components.
 Topology
describes the physical cabling layout and the logical way data moves between components.
Quality of Service (QoS)

 Quality of Service (QoS) is a feature of routers and switches which


prioritizes traffic so that more important traffic can pass first.
 The result is a performance improvement for critical network traffic.
 QoS equipment is useful with VoIP phones or in LANs with high volumes of
local traffic.
Importance of Quality of Service (QoS)

 Quality of service is particularly important for the transport of traffic with


special requirements.
 In particular, much technology has been developed to allow computer
networks to become as useful as telephone networks for audio
conversations, as well as supporting new applications with even stricter
service demands.
Measurement of Quality of Service
(QoS)

 In packet-switched networks, quality of service is affected by various


factors, which can be divided into “human” and “technical” factors.
 Human factors include: stability of service, availability of service, delays,
user information.
 Technical factors include: reliability, scalability, effectiveness,
maintainability, grade of service, etc.
