Abstract
A communication network and process for communicating thereon is disclosed which can support multimedia communications. Communication channels are formulated using a two step process. In a first step, channel types and fixed attributes thereof are defined. When needed, one or more channels of the predefined types are subsequently allocated in a second step wherein user-definable parameters are specified. The user-definable parameters and fixed attributes of each allocated channel control the scheduling of transmission and receipt of information on each channel.
