Abstract :
This paper proposes architecture for an IEEE1394 device driver that can support the priority-based queueing of packets, thereby guaranteeing device driver level support for real-time characteristics and improving the predictability of high priority applications. This architecture can accommodate the real-time requirements of various applications and services such as digital multimedia services with QoS guarantees, IEEE1394-based real-time instrumentation and control application, and the implementation of real-time middleware in home networks
