Summary on Grant Application Form
The objective of the project is to investigate the transmission of audio over Internet protocol (IP) networks with a defined quality of service (QoS). Although the largest IP network in use today, the internet, does not currently support QoS, there are a number of emerging QoS techniques that are proposed for IP networks that in the future will deliver end to end QoS. This project will focus its investigation on the use of these QoS technologies from the perspective of the application interface to a QoS enabled network and the users perception of the applications performance. The target application is towards reliably streamed audio material for real-time (delay sensitive) transmission. An example of such an application is Internet telephony.One of the problems facing the implementation of real-time services over IP networks is that there are a number of different methodologies for implementing QoS. This project will develop a common software framework for an application that requires the use of one, or a number of, IP QoS techniques. Furthermore, it will focus on the ability of the application by dynamically adapt to changes in the available network QoS.
