Papers
We have written a fairly lengthy technical
report on the design principles behind AF, the protocol, client
library, server, and performance.
A shorter, but less detailed introduction to AudioFile (AF2R2) can be found
in our USENIX
paper presented at the Summer 93 USENIX. The accompanying PostScript
slides are here.
