Any generic system that receives time sensitive real-time information from numerous distributed nodes that must be processsed and relayed to other processing stations *and* run the typical IP e-mail, ftp, httpd, etc. packet services concurrently over the same pipes, as well as network management traffic ad. infinitum..... Running real time sensory data, for example that must arrive at remote locations within a few milliseconds on a packet switched network, for example.... I'll attach a few references for those who don't wish nor have the time to pull down the 12 page postscript draft mentioned earlier... --------- attached -------- \bibitem[Ferrari90]{Ferrari90} Ferrari, Domenico, {\em Client Requirements for Real-Time Communication Services}, IEEE Communications Magazine, November 1990, pp. 65-72. \bibitem[CSZ92]{CSZ92} Clark, D., Shenker, S., and Zhang, L., {\em Supporting Real-time Applications in an Integrated Services Packet Network: Architecture and Mechanism}, ACM SIGCOM, September 1992. %\bibitem[QoS95]{QoS95} Lee, W., Hluchyj, M., and Humblet, P, %{\em Routing Subject to Quality of Service Constraints in Integrated Communications Networks}, %IEEE Network, July/August 1995, pp. 46-55. \bibitem[Zhang87]{Zhang87}Zhang, Lixia, {\em Designing a New Architecture for Packet Switching Communications}, IEEE Communications Magazine, Vol. 25, No. 9, September 1987, pp. 5-12. ------- end -------- Hope these help, there are more......
