A method and device for delivering multimedia data using IETF QoS
protocols. MPEG media data can be transmitted in packet units through a
network using the IETF QoS protocol by mapping MPEG media traffic factors
onto IETF QoS traffic factors. By encoding or transcoding MPEG media
traffic according to a double leaky bucket model indicated by the four
factors, a maximum bit rate, a first buffer size, a guaranteed bit rate,
and a second buffer size, the MPEG media traffic factors may be
transmitted using the IETF QoS protocol without having to go through the
process of being mapped onto QoS traffic factors.
