Re: [GnomeMeeting-devel-list] About Skype...



Yes if people have ideas from Skype to implement into GM, then I'm all
ears. However, we have opposite directions, and I really see Skype as a
toy.

But my advice is extremely biased.

Actually, people who tell the audio quality is better than with GM (just
like the Skype FAQ advertises : superior audio quality) are wrong. Skype
is using iLBC, just like GnomeMeeting, but with the whole bandwidth
dedicated to audio.

The only real advantage is transparent NAT support, we have several
alternatives in GM CVS :
- transparent NAT support if one of the endpoints is not-NATted or NAT-
aware
- NAT-awareness through STUN support
- NAT-awareness through IP Translation

but no transparent NAT support. Craig, Robert and me have been
discussing an idea to achieve this, I think Craig will work on it.
