7.3 ATM Addressing
You specify the destination address with the MSMC API’s msmSetConnect()
function. You fill in an instance of the MsmConnect structure before calling
msmSetConnect() . This structure contains an destTiAddr field, which holds a
string. This field determines the destination address to which the server delivers
data.
7.3.1 MPEG over AAL5
When configured for MPEG over AAL5, the server delivers video data to a specified
ATM virtual circuit over a specified server ATM port. Therefore, the data endpoint
address is described by a ATM virtual circuit and a server ATM port.
Note – The server supports only SunATM devices, that is, devices with names of the
form ba <num>.
The address is a string of the following format:
The components of this address are as follows:
■ The ba <ATM portnum> is the server’s ATM interface, through which multimedia
data will pass.
■ The <ATM vcnum> specifies the ATM circuit that has been established to deliver
the multimedia data through the ATM network to the client.
For example, the address port=sa0,vc=301 specifies that data be delivered via the
server’s ATM device sa0 to virtual circuit 301.
7.3.2 MPEG-2 over Classical IP over AAL5
When configured for MPEG over Classical IP over AAL5, the server delivers video
data to a specified IP hostname and UDP port number.
port=ba <ATM portnum> ,vc= <ATM vcnum>
