Figure 6.5: Set of tuners and servers in rackwidth reservation on Czech Radio’s Internet connection with streams broadcastto the streaming server in CESNET.During the following period, we will extend the existing system configurationand introduce the processing and broadcasting of other Czech Radio stations.After we launch an experimental operation of the system, we expect the numberof listeners to increase significantly (i.e., clients connected to the server), andtherefore increased load of server.. We intend to elaborate a methodology forthe measurement and evaluation of the results acquired in the actual operation.Furthermore, we expect further development of the navigating and documentationWeb pages for this part of project, where we will also promote the progressiveformat – Ogg. We would also like to carry out an experimental implementationof the Audio-on-Demand service, which would allow to broadcast arequired programme (usually radio news) at request.We will also devote our attention to verification of new coding and transcodingtechnologies, which could be used for the system operation – e.g., for transmissionof streams at various speeds and bandwidths.High-speed National Research Network and its New Applications 200293
