Thats one scenario the other scenario is in a reasonable small building when you install a printer you have to go in and dig around with your configuration files to tell every single workstation where the freaking thing is or lets say that it goes down and there is another printer in your vecinity the service should have the capability to redirect the printing to the next near printer . > A print queue is "a service on a server".

Sure however as an architect would you be willing to cripple your architecture to services which don't require phisicality such as a printer? > The services I'm talking about are things like "the next 1024 frames > of 'Batman Returns'" or "the latest release of pkzip". > Services based on data retrieval, on the other hand, are not dependent > on the locality of the storage device containing the data, only the > timeliness of its arrival at the requesting location. > > Ie: I can't afford packet transfer times exceeding my pool retnetion > time for my video data. Hmm... have you heard of RTPv2 with it you can measure bandwith so you can send out a test stream to measure the bandwith or try to further encode down the video stream or/an change the frame rate base on the current bandwith. We got the bits and pieces necessary to implement what we want . We just don't have the architecture! Amancio
