Todays C/S cannot support MM
Legend NOS Network Operating System
LAN

• LANs have QoS, bandwidth, scaleability issues
• NOSs are optimized for bursty data transfers
• Servers have bus, processor, capacity bottlenecks

FVCs Solution for Desktop MM
? Desktop ATM network to front-end the LAN ?
Media Operating Software (MOS) to augment the
NOS ? Native ATM Services such as Stored A/V,
Realtime A/V, Video Conferencing

Network QoS

• ATM
• ISDN
• T1/E1
• Switched
• Ethernet

17
MOS advantage

• Current NOSs are optimised to support high
  throughput, burst data client/server applications
• MOS coexists with the NOS, and enables realtime
  multimedia applications such as stored or live
  Audio/Video and Video Conferencing, to directly
  leverage ATMs sophisticated Classes of Service

18
CMOS SMOS

• MOS augments the NOS to provide QoS MM
• Client MOS enables Windows Client to
  transparently access MM Server/Service
• Server MOS frontends the MM Resource or Service
  and delivers it over the ATM Network
