Abstract

This paper broadly describes some of the research activities in MultiG, a research program in multimedia and high-speed networking in Sweden, including those on multimedia applications using digital audio and video mixed with traditional applications, efficient implementation of network and transport protocols for gigabit networks (i.e., 6pm, the SICS Protocol Machine) and the MAC-level protocol, PTM, which is being designed and implemented for use on a fiber optic network.
