Preserving temporal signature: a way to convey time constrained flows

Addresses the problem of a temporal signature conservation, arising in multimedia communications. Specifically, the authors are interested in the problem of the flow reconstitution and variable end-to-end delay compensation at the receiver end-system. Requirements and algorithm associated with this design are described. The proposed algorithm is quickly understood, it may exploit either the globally synchronized or locally available sender/receiver clocks. The authors also present the simple formal model of the algorithm. This formal model allows to make an elegant and short proof of correctness of the protocol
