ETHMICS is a testbed to investigate various aspects of multimedia communication in a high-speed networked environment. With a view to realistic application experiments, a multimedia workstation has been developed, yielding new insights about workstation architecture and local access arrangements. In terms of software, ETHMICS is based on an object-oriented application framework. This framework has a videophone application as one of its first derivatives. Hardware and software developments have been complemented by some fundamental studies on the impact of multimedia quality of service (QOS) requirements on the strategies for scheduling workstation and network resources. >read more

An analysis of TCP processing overhead
TL;DR: A detailed study was made of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the transport protocol from the Internet protocol suite, and it was concluded that TCP is in fact not the source of the overhead often observed in packet processing, and that it could support very high speeds if properly implemented.

An Application Framework for Multimedia Communication
Stefan Frey,Daniel P. Ingold +1 more
TL;DR: Multimedia workstations will not find acceptance unless presented with attractive and easy-touse applications which maintain a consistent user-interface, so a framework on which to base these applications might be of some use.
