Abstract

Due to the improvement of network technology, broadband network applications such as video conference, VOD, and remote education become possible. Everyone can communicate with each other by simply installing video conference software. The two most popular architectures of video conference are P2P and client-server. Due to the limitation of computing power and network bandwidth, the number of user clients and conferences are finite. Client-server is the only one solution if one needs a multi-point and real-time video conference. The network traffic is increased as the square of the number of user clients. Therefore, too many user clients will cause the server to crash. This paper illustrates a novel method to solve this problem and will use Co-Life middleware, developed by NCHC, to demonstrate the performance of this system.
