Abstract :
The paper analyses the requirements of multimedia communications in terms of XTP (Xpress transfer protocol). In a first step, multimedia communication requirements are described. Subsequently individual features of XTP relevant for audio and video data transfer are presented. The authors describe the multimedia requirements and provide a possible way to satisfy them using XTP. It turns out that a multimedia capable XTP requires new interpretations of existing mechanisms as well as some extensions
