Since the World Wide Web can be seen as a ``virtual network'' on top of the Internet, making video available on the Web will rely heavily on Internet protocols.
This chapter focuses on ways to transfer video on the Internet in general. It starts with a short introduction to Internet networking, describing the basic protocols from which specialized protocols are built. After that, the use of multicasting for video conferencing is issued. Finally, methods for general data transfer, which may be used for video, are explained, followed by a description of methods designed for video and possibly sound.
