Graphics Internetworking: Bottlenecks and Breakthroughs
Overview
Although networking is considered to be "different" than computer graphics,
network considerations are integral to large-scale interactive three-dimensional (3D) graphics. Graphics and
networks are now two interlocking halves of a greater whole: distributed virtual environments. New capabilities, new applications and new ideas abound in this rich intersection of critical technologies. Our ultimate goal is to use networked interactive 3D graphics to take full advantage of all computation, content and people resources available
on the Internet.
Network breakthroughs repeatedly remove bottlenecks and provide new opportunities. A pattern appears as we
attempt to scale up in capability and capacity without limit: every old bottleneck broken reveals another.
Understanding the bottlenecks, the corresponding solutions and potential upper bounds to growth permits us to
develop effective networked graphics. When we overcome current bottlenecks, "effectively networked graphics" will
simply mean "applications."
