The diploma thesis was concerned with long-distance musical interaction (\"NetMusic\"). This is a very peculiar application: only a small amount of bandwidth may be necessary, but timely delivery and reduced loss are very important. Back then, these require­ ments led to a thorough investigation of existing telecommunication network mechanisms, but a satisfactory answer to the question could not be found. Simply put, the answer is \"yes\" - this work describes a mechanism which indeed enables an application to \"ask for the available bandwidth\". This obvi­ ously does not only concern online musical collaboration any longer. Among others, the mechanism yields the following advantages over existing alterna­ tives: • good throughput while maintaining close to zero loss and a small bottleneck queue length • usefulness for streaming media applications due to a very smooth rate • feasibility for satellite and wireless links • high scalability Additionally, a reusable framework for future applications that need to \"ask the network\" for certain performance data was developed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2003-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402075704\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-0519-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 167\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265715163276,"sku":"9781402075704","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402075704.jpg?v=1770788973","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781402075704","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
