Abstract

Last years, videoconferencing systems are rapidly evolving and they are becoming more and more popular as a real time communication tool among users. A technology such as VoIP can be used in conjunction with desktop videoconferencing systems to enable low-cost face-to-face business meetings without a necessity to travel, especially for internationally oriented companies that have offices all around the word. In this paper, we focus on and discuss a videoconferencing platform based on the WebRTC technology. We analyze an impact on the multiplexing server’s CPU load and memory requirements for different number of communicating users while taken into account different HW/SW configurations of end-point devices.
