The primary goal of this research is to investigate resource management and traffic-related issues that will enable efficient transport of compressed video streams over an ATM network. These issues include the determination of network resources to be allocated for a given traffic stream, the prioritization of compressed video streams, the design and management of scheduling techniques that the network can implement to provide differential service to various priority levels, and the effect of resource sharing on the effective bandwidth and buffer size allocated to a stream. In order to study the aforementioned issues, an accurate characterization of compressed video traffic is required. Accordingly, we will first capture, digitize, and compress (via compression standards) several video streams (e.g., movies), whereby the picture dynamics (in terms of scene changes, panning, zooming) varies from one movie to another. These captured traces will be used to develop traffic models for single and aggregate (statistically multiplexed) compressed video streams. The traffic models developed will extend beyond the entry node of an ATM network to include compressed streams at intermediate nodes inside the ATM network. Performance studies (queueing-based) will be done of interfering traffic mixed with compressed streams (MPEG-2). The ATM testbed at Michigan State University will be used for the proposed research.

本研究的主要目标是调查资源管理和流量相关问题，这些问题将使压缩视频流在ATM网络上有效传输。这些问题包括为给定的流量流分配网络资源的确定，压缩视频流的优先级，网络可以实现的调度技术的设计和管理，以提供不同优先级级别的差异服务，以及资源共享对分配给流的有效带宽和缓冲区大小的影响。为了研究上述问题，需要对压缩视频流量进行准确的表征。因此，我们将首先捕获、数字化和压缩（通过压缩标准）几个视频流（例如，电影），从而使图像动态（在场景变化、平移、缩放方面）从一个电影到另一个变化。这些捕获的轨迹将用于开发单个和聚合（统计多路复用）压缩视频流的流量模型。所开发的流量模型将扩展到ATM网络的入口节点之外，以包括ATM网络内部中间节点的压缩流。性能研究（基于队列的）将完成与压缩流（MPEG-2）混合的干扰流量的研究。密歇根州立大学的ATM试验台将用于拟议的研究。请参阅我们的URL地址（http://www.cps.msu.edu//~hughes/mpeg-2.html）了解有关该项目的更多信息。
