Dependability-of-Service(DoS? ) has become an important requirement
for real-time communications. We have developed the Dependable Real-Time
Protocol (DRTP), in which each dependable real-time connection
is implemented with one primary and one or more backup channels.
We are currently exploring ways of deploying the DRTP on the
Internet with MPLS and/or DiffServ.
