Abstract
The panelists discuss the directions that future QoSre search should to support distributed multimedia applications in the Internet, in particular applications that rely on audio and video streaming.
While real-time streaming services that are already deployed attract only a minor share of the overall network traffic and have only a minor impact on the network, this is in part due to the distribution infrastructures that are already in place to reduce network and server loads.
However, it is questionable whether these infrastructures for non-interactive applications, that rely largely on the regional over-provisioning of resources, will also be capable of supporting future multimedia applications. The panelists discuss their views of the current and future demand for more sophisticated QoSm echanisms and the resulting research issues.
