The Internet and ATM are viewed as two major competing networking technologies, specially for support of multimedia communications. In this course, we will review the fundamentals of multimedia and distributed multimedia systems, as well as the Internet and ATM technologies, including TCP, IP/IPng, ATM and AAL protocols and congestion control. Then, we will contrast between the Internet and ATM by closely examining a number of multimedia applications such as Video on Demand (VOD) and Multimedia Teleconferencing. Advanced protocols for support of multimedia communications over the Internet such as MBone, RSVP and RTP are also presented. If time permits we also address issues of multimedia communication over wireless ATM.
