Abstract
Mobile clients have unusual needs for sending and receiving multimedia data. The traditional client/server paradigm does not take into account variable network conditions; thus traditional client/server applications have no capability of responding to intermittent connectivity, changing cost structures, or the kind of fluctuations in available bandwidth which are characteristic of wireless links. Two approaches towards allowing such adaptations are presented for comparison: proxies and modifications to client and server
