Abstract

Peer-to-peer computing and multipoint video conference are both gaining popularity with the explosive development of Internet. Although there are many existing video conference systems in the world, these solutions are all centralized and none of them can run without MCU (Multipoint Control Unit). The centralized nature usually causes single-point failure and does not make efficient use of network resources. Moreover, many IM (Instant Messenger) applications begin to support point-to-point video conference. However, to the best of our knowledge, none of them can support multipoint video conference. In this paper, a peer-to-peer multipoint video conference system “PipeSeeU”, which is based on existing IM applications, is proposed to solve the problem mentioned above.
