HIGH QUALITY MULTIMEDIA COMMUNICATIONS `

摘要

A method of providing high quality multimedia communications between end users uses an ATM-ADSL access system, which provides 6 megabits per second downstream and 640 kilobits per second upstream multimedia signal in conjunction with a multicasting feature. An end user can receive multiple video/audio streams downstream while the end user's video/audio is transmitted upstream to the multicast network and is multicast to the end points.
