Abstract-- This paper presents a new framework for multime-
dia streaming that integrates the application and network layer
functionalities to meet such stringent application requirements
as delay and loss. The coordination between these two layers
provides more robust media transmission even under severe
network conditions. In this framework, a multiple description
source coder is used to produce multiple independently-decodable
streams that are routed over partially link-disjoint (non-shared)
