Data (e.g., multimedia data) is transmitted between components of a computer network according to a method wherein said data is transported from a first network component to at least a second network component in streams that include a first set of stream set up negotiations providing a unique identifier to each one of one or more data packets associated with a data stream. The first negotiations may include the bandwidth requirement for said data stream and/or permissions to transmit from one network component to a second network component. In some cases, these permissions may be granted by a third network component designated as a master network component. This method may be employed in wireless (e.g., infra red or radio frequency) computer networks. The data streams may be organized in a hierarchical structure, including transmission priorities such as isochronous, high, medium and low, depending on the data content of said streams. The data content may include multimedia, voice, and asynchronous data.
