Summary form only given. This paper describes the purpose, features and architecture of Intercast, a project under development in Intel's Internet Technology Lab (ITL) which enhances conventional television programming with additional, structured data, allowing the PC to add value to the TV experience. This associated digital information augments the broadcast television content and can be watched live or browsed at leisure. This browsing allows for the impression of a new interactive medium without the requirement for bi-directional communications. Development of the Intercast program focused on the following key issues: 1. Tools for the broadcaster to add and synchronize digital information with traditional programming content. 2. Protocols for transporting associated data from the broadcaster to the home consumer. 3. Client application software utilizing a standard data display mechanism that can scale to support a fully interactive, bi-directional communications environment. Intel's contribution has been to enable the creation of a new broadcast medium through the development of technology to merge traditional TV programming with a computer-based communications environment. Through relationships developed with broadcast industry partners and PC OEMs, this new medium has the potential to rapidly enable new business opportunities for broadcasters, advertisers, and independent software vendors-all without a costly investment in a new communications infrastructure.

This paper proposes the strategy of conducting a staged and controlled implementation of an ATM LAN within an enterprise in order to reducing the risk to the general corporate user as legacy connections are replaced. Project implementation is broken into eight separate sub-projects, each of which can stand on its own once implemented.

The goal of the etaCOM network is twofold. One to handle the applications to be exhibited and the other to demonstrate the network itself. Five technology tracks are demonstrated: ATM, Internet, wireless, multimedia, and client-server. The etaCOM network shows the following: (a) ATM interoperability; (b) temporary Internet services; (c) wireless Internet services; (d) automatic teller machines with video hookup; and (e) JAVA and etaCOM.

The success of the Internet and the World Wide Web has created an opportunity for a new generation of distributed applications. The developers of these new applications will need new tools to simplify protocol design and development. Once the applications are essentially complete, new portability and security technologies will be needed to overcome the current difficulties of deploying new applications.

Only recently have solutions emerged to link "public" communication networks and "private" financial networks in an efficient and trustworthy manner. The PAYLINX server was developed out of the need to support a variety of secure client systems that integrate with the financial networks of today. PAYLINX object-oriented architecture is designed to implement the current and future standards of electronic commerce.

We present the design of a C++ framework for building custom Web agent applications. Our framework includes abstractions for networking and communications as well as a format-independent set of classes for representing document components. We discuss the design and parts of the implementation of the framework and present possible extensions.

Software simulators have often been used to test and validate new protocols, but the high bandwidth of newly emerging ATM networks implies prohibitive memory requirements. This paper describes several simulation techniques we have devised as part of the Thunder and Lightning project to build 40 and 100 gigabit per second ATM networks.

Multimedia streams usually have an inherent hierarchy and an inter-independency of subsequent blocks in their data structures. Dealing with these features within the operating system and the network brings a global resource usage improvement. We propose a new method for media scaling based on two complementary techniques: circular buffers and filtering. We describe an MPEG distributed application architecture built with the two combined techniques and show improvements in the received video quality.

Video compression technology has already made a significant impact on commercial distribution of television programmes. Several key suppliers have established themselves in the marketplace, some supporting the ISO/IEC MPEG coding standard, and others using proprietary systems. In Europe the Digital Video Broadcasting [DVB] project has defined additional channel coding standards, complementary to MPEG, and has already published standards for satellite and cable transmission systems and is about to publish a standard for digital terrestrial broadcasting. The latest medium to gain attention in DVB, as well as other parts of the world, is multipoint microwave distribution system [MMDS]-sometimes also known as the multichannel video distribution system [MVDS]. Analogue MMDS services already exist in some countries.

A proxy server is a Web server that caches Internet resources for re-use by a set of client machines. CERN's Web server implements proxy services and CERN-based proxy servers are in wide use at the enterprise level. This paper presents the design and implications of an extended proxy server that shares cache resources with near neighbors. A substantial reduction in internetwork load can be obtained from proxy sharing, with a corresponding increase in performance. Good performance comes from a simple implementation model that is non-hierarchical; proxies access each other using the natural topology of the Internet.
