Abstract
This paper presents the design and implementation of a user-level real-time network system in Real-Time Mach. Traditional network systems for microkernel based operating systems, which tend to focus on high performance and flexibility, are not suitable for real-time communication. Our network system provides a framework for implementing real-time network protocols which require to bound protocol processing time, and it is suitable for implementing on microkernel based operating systems. In this paper, we especially focus on the aspects to avoid the priority inversion problem in order to make network systems more preemptable and predictable. We also describe the feasibility of our network system for building distributed multimedia systems.
