Abstract

This paper presents a multicast multimedia Web application that allows Web users to join an MBone session and receive real-time audio/video seamlessly. We attempt to identify a solution that can be deployed immediately for applying multicast media to the Web. This is accomplished by generating an HTML session page using SDP/SAP for session discovery and integrating RTP/RTCP into the Web for transmission of real-time stream. Our RTP player implementation is built on Netscape plug-in, which provides minimal QoS control as adapting an appropriate buffer size, and Java Applet, which makes it platform-independent, scalable and easy to deploy. Thus, there is no longer need for new program installation to multicast various types of real-time media. Especially, RTP Applet approach provides an ideal and scalable solution for the new media or application "x" proposed on the Internet Multicast Infrastructure in near future. In addition, we describe on architecture for distribution of HTMP pages via multicast.
