Abstract
The role of services and protocols is often misunderstood and their distinction is sometimes vague and blurred. In this paper we present a discussion on these concepts and their applications in multimedia transport systems. The GCommS system consisting in a service and transport system architecture is introduced, which considers the special requirements of interactive multimedia systems.
