Abstract
Multimedia communication systems are rapidly developed during the last decade to reach the technology of streaming applications. Work in this paper analyzes and evaluates the area of multimedia communication services over highspeed networks. The main target is to test the multimedia communication from the applications perspective. This means to test multi-source multi-destination communication and the inter-behavior of multimedia traffic in such an environment. We run a simulation study to examine the network behavior in case of a QoS-enabled architecture, and to introduce establishing the different multi-participant scenarios in multiparty applications. The simulation study in this paper focuses on the inter-effect of varying traffic types generated by distributed traffic sources and injected to distributed groups of destinations. The simulation study examines the responsiveness and performance behavior of the interactive multimedia communication session in the support of QoS architecture with emphasis on DiffServ and MPLS networks.
