Implementation of a Video Teleconferencing System for Low-Bandwidth Networks and Medium-End Systems

Long distance learning is in vogue these days. This requires a setup where an attendee can participate in lectures delivered from a university while sitting at some remote location. Generally this requires very high bandwidth network and a high end system on the attendee´s end. Interuniversity collaboration also creates a demand for a teleconferencing system. To make these applications possible on medium and low end systems and low bandwidth networks, a video teleconferencing system was developed. This paper describes its structure.
