A Model and Its Realization of Multipoint Videoconferencing Based on Source-Specific Multicast
A multipoint videoconferencing system is composed of four main components that are user interface
codecs
conferencing control and media transmission architecture.Among them
the media transmission architecture is most critical for a videoconferencing system.Traditional methods have many drawbacks such as high network resource overhead
heavy burden on terminals
low scalability and complicated control.This paper proposes a principle for design of videoconferencing
which makes the system simple
robust
feasible and scalable.According to the principle
a new model of multipoint videoconferencing based on multiple source-specific multicast trees is given.This model leads to simplifying design of the videoconferencing
reducing the overhead of networking resources and rising scalability.The paper introduces the evaluation method for transmission architectures
comparison of three types of traditional structures
the new transmission model and a practical videoconferencing developed by the anthers.
