Abstract. In multimedia systems end-to-end delay jitter has a great impact on the continuity of information playback. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce appropriate mechanisms to compensate for delay variations, so that the intramedia and intermedia temporal relationships can be preserved. In this paper, two methods for compensation of the network delay jitter in a distributed multimedia retrieval service are compared: the first is based on prediction of the network delay jitter suffered by each information unit and retrieval time modification at the source site; the second is based on a compensation buffer at the destination site. Comparison is made by assuming a master/slave relationship between the monomedia streams composing the multimedia data flow.
