| The iBus Java framework - A Hot Topic|

JavaGroups

One could write a Streaming Media Server using JavaGroups as the Middleware Framework.

If you Go to Javagroups. Download and compile JavaGroups. Test to see if the sample programs work. Download and read the manual (if you feel you need to).

Go his other page Student JavaGroups Projects and download go to 'Student Projects' then download the JavaGroupsVC application and get it working. The source code for the JavaGroupsVC package comes with JavaGroups therefore you do not need to download JavaGroups separately. IF you do find you need to download javaGroups - make sure that you use the same version of JavaGroups to compile the VC application that the peson used when writing it. I presume it's mentioned in the design document.

MMStream

One could use MMStream in a project to test the relevance of the RTP protocol to transporting multimedia over the Internet.

Try to compile the MMStream.tar.gz application. To download this, right click on link, choose 'save link as' and then if the download box renames the file mmstream_tar.gz, rename the file back to mmstream.tar.gz.
