+Description
+-----------
+
+This directory contains a simple test in the form of a sender and a
+receiver.  The test has the following features:
+
+1. It tests the AVStreams Pluggable Protocol Framework
+2. Shows a mechanism to pace data.
+3. Shows how we can modify the qos of a flow during run-time.
+
+To demonstrate the qos modification teh receiver calls the modify_qos 
+(in this test we are modifying the frame rate of the flow) method after 
+receiving 20 frames (a number selected for no good reason!!).
+This call in turn is propagated to the sender. The sender then re-initializes
+the frame rate to the one requested by the receiver.
+
+Running the test
+----------------
+
+receiver
+--------
+
+receiver -f <output_filename>
+
+-f <output_filename> -> The name of the file under which the received stream
+                        data has to be stored (defaults to "output")
+
+sender
+------
+
+sender [-f <filename>] [-p <protocol>] [-r <frame rate>] [-d] 
+
+
+-f filename --> The file to be streamed to the receiver (defaults to
+                "input"). 
+
+-p protocol --> The protocol string could be UDP or TCP (defaults to
+                UDP). But with the multicast address it should be UDP.
+
+-r framerate--> The rate at which tha data frames need to be sent
+                (defaults to 30 frames per second).
+
+-d          --> Increament the TAO_debug_level for debug messages.
+
+
+The test must be run with the naming service.  Check the run_test.pl
+to see how to configure the test case.
