Course content:
1 Multimedia application requirements for networks.
2 Quality and parameters of network services (QoS).
3 Analysis of networks and protocols from the point of view of multimedia.
4 QoS mechanisms: traffic-handling.
5 QoS mechanisms: bandwidth management.
6 RTP, RTCP i RSVP protocols.
7 RTSP i SDP protocols.
8 SIP protocol.
9 Methods for correcting transmission errors.
10 Modeling unreliable communication channels.
