To address these issues, HEPNRC developed the Multi-Session Bridge (MSB) and vtc
Works with all RTP2-based multimedia tools
- e.g., vic, vat, rat, wb, nt, …
Combines unicast and multicast (e.g., MBone) sessions into seamless video conferences
- Works well and is network-efficient for sparse many-to-many conferences
- Can unicast to sites that don’t support multicast
- Can bypass poor Internet connectivity using ISDN
- Affords privacy throught the use of passwords & encryption
