LOUISVILLE, COLO. - The broadband Internet is driving toward rich-media applications, and now it has a new road map thanks to Cable Television Laboratories Inc. The consortium issued the PacketCable Multimedia specification and technical report, setting up guidelines for delivery of Internet-protocol multimedia applications over cable systems.

An addition to the IP-voice- and data-centric PacketCable, the multimedia specification outlines methods to reserve bandwidth and create quality-of-service guarantees for multimedia services running on Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification 1.1 networks. That includes future interactive-gaming and streaming-media services that cable systems might offer to broadband customers.
