ATM Addressing

You specify the destination address with the MSMC API’s

msmSetConnect()

function. You fill in an instance of the

MsmConnect

structure before calling

msmSetConnect()

. This structure contains an

destTiAddr

field, which holds a

string. This field determines the destination address to which the server delivers
data.

7.3.1

MPEG over AAL5

When configured for MPEG over AAL5, the server delivers video data to a specified
ATM virtual circuit over a specified server ATM port. Therefore, the data endpoint
address is described by a ATM virtual circuit and a server ATM port.

Note –

The server supports only SunATM devices, that is, devices with names of the

form

ba

.

The address is a string of the following format:

The components of this address are as follows:

The

ba

is the server’s ATM interface, through which multimedia

data will pass.

The specifies the ATM circuit that has been established to deliver
the multimedia data through the ATM network to the client.

For example, the address

port=sa0,vc=301

specifies that data be delivered via the

server’s ATM device

sa0

to virtual circuit 301.

7.3.2

MPEG-2 over Classical IP over AAL5

When configured for MPEG over Classical IP over AAL5, the server delivers video
data to a specified IP hostname and UDP port number.
