OCR: DIAL-UP ROUTERS FOR BACKBONE OVERFLOW AND VIDEO Video server Ethernet Local Local Ethernet node (client) switching hub Local Ethernet node (client) Ethernet Ethernet Local dial-up Local backbone router router ISDN or other digital dial-up Frame relay Remote dial-up Remote backbone router router Ethernet Ethernet Remote switching hub "Remote Ethernet node [client) Remote Ethernet node [client) FIGURE 2: Using o dial-up router for video enables remote Ethernet nodes to access video over the WAN. Video traffic flows from the video server to the local switching hub, to the local dial-up router, over the dial-up WAN links, to the remote dial-up router, to the remote switching hub, and finally to the remote client. Connecting backbone routers to dial-up routers makes it possible to route data overflow over dial-up lines-an expensive proposition for full-motion video.
