Wireless Quality-of-Service Media Protocols

The WiFi in your home doesn't care whether you are wirelessly sending an e-mail or trying to record a TV program. There is no "quality of service" capability, a concept that is necessary noow that wireless needs to deal with data such as media that has high priority, real time delivery requirements.

The pieces of the sizeable digital-content puzzle are starting to fall into place, but roadblocks remain. Digital Rights Management is still chief among them, but other issues, such as wireless networking performance and Quality of Service, can also rain on the parade. Today, we'll take you on a tour of the media-networking landscape and show you what are—and will be—the key technologies to make digital media and data play nice on your home network.
