Video-on-demand broadcasting protocols

Video-on-demand (VOD) will one day allow clients to watch the video of their choice at the time of their choice. It will be less complicated to use than a typical web browser, and it will only require that the clients have a set-top box (STB) connected to their television set. The STB will allow the clients to navigate a VOD server's video library, and then it will handle the reception and display of the video once the clients make a selection. It is possible that the VOD service will even be interactive, allowing clients to use VCR controls such as pause, rewind, and fast forward while viewing their requests. In this case the STB will also be responsible for communicating the desired interactions to the VOD server.
