Applying QoS guaranteed multicast audio and video to the Web

We present an implementation of Web based multicast audio and video application over QoS enabled networks. In order to apply QoS guaranteed multicast audio and video to the Web, architecture extension for real-time stream transmission, session directory service and QoS delivery embedded into the Web is needed. We attempt to identify a solution that can be deployed immediately. We design and implement a QoS based multicast multimedia application by integrating the RTP, SDP/SAP and RSVP into the Web, which allows Web users to join a multicast session and receive QoS guaranteed multicast audio and video seamlessly.
