One often hear terminologies such as information superhighway, internet, multimedia communications, virtual reality technologies and the like; which are basically buzzwords that describe the current computer Utopia. And the realisation of such technologies is none other than the physical transport of information over the physical media such as wires, fiber optics, or even over the frequency spectrum in a wireless manner. In abstract terms, we are talking about the transmission of different types of data in the form of audio, video, image, or text, commonly known as the multimedia traffic, over the network's bandwidth.
