Abstract :
Digital storage media-command and control (DSM-CC) is a set of protocols for the delivery of integrated video-based multimedia services over networks, including delivery over residential broadband networks to homes. Open protocols in this area are essential for widespread deployment of interactive multimedia services to homes. After describing the basic reference model of DSM-CC and its concept of session and multiresource connection, this paper examines how DSM-CC can work over broadband ATM networks. A series of ATM network architectures is described along with the DSM-CC and Q.2931 message flows that together set up sessions and allocate connections between servers and clients. The characteristics of each ATM network architecture are briefly discussed
