Diseño de un prototipo para videoconferencia permitiendo difusión multicast sobre redes de alta velocidad.

Abstract

Due to the problems a low quality conference can carry and sometimes the unnecessary expenses in licenses or equipment used to start audio and video communication open source technologies have been created to let economic resources optimization. The following titling project aims the prototype videoconference system design which is based in the Open Source platform and to provide multicast diffusion taking advantage the benefits this new communication technology has. The process started gathering information to select the videoconference application which meets all the necessary requirements to fulfill the project´s objective, after the analysis two applications were obtained with all items valued in the comparative table, after verifying all the minimal requirements the application was installed and the necessary tests in the first experiment were done. The results were negative because this application did not fulfill our expectations that´s why we started the second experiment which was successful and the process could be completed. The tests were monitored, analyzed later and graphed in the Open Source tool. These graphics show the traffic consume and processes to transmit video, audio and chat with a determined number of users.
