Abstract :
We present the design and implementation of NetMedia, a middleware that supports client-server distributed multimedia applications. In NetMedia, individual clients may access multiple servers to retrieve customized multimedia presentations. Each server simultaneously supports multiple clients. NetMedia has transmission support strategies and robust software systems at both server and client ends
