A data storage system includes a mass storage unit storing a data entity, such as a digital representation of a video presentation, that is partitioned into a plurality N of temporally-ordered segments. A data buffer is bidirectionally coupled to the mass storage unit for storing up to M of the temporally-ordered segments, wherein M is less than N. The data buffer has an output for outputting stor...

In an ATM-network are included server devices which take care of connectionless data communication traffic and arrange that respective data packets arising from this trafic reach their destinations. The service devices deal with public data communications. The service devices also deal with private data communication traffic arising from the LAN network by means of function in the form of LAN-emul...
