    A Resource Reservation Scheme for Synchronized Distributed Multimedia Sessions
    (1997) Zhao, W.; Tripathi, S.K.; ISR
    Guarantees of services in a networked environment are provided, by the proper allocation and utilization of network and system resources.

    In this paper, we propose a resource reservation scheme for a class of, multimedia applications. We characterize this class of multimedia applications as synchronized distributed multimedia sessions, which we, believe represent a large number of multimedia applications.

    In addition to this particular class of applications, the reservation, scheme can also be applied to other applications with synchronized resource requirements. Mechanisms are devised so that, the scheme can find a feasible reservation whenever one exists, in, contrast to existing protocols where request can fail unpredictably, even when there is available resource. Based upon a layer of resource abstraction, the scheme suits well with today's heterogeneous network environment.
