interactive voice over satellite is problematic due to the inherent latency of the signal travelling 40,000km distance to the satellite and another 40,000km back. this adds 125ms of latency in each direction (to/from the bird), give or take. if you remeber using satellite for long distance calls it took some getting used to (a bit like talking on a 2 way radio) and the perceived signal quality was less than using an under the pond cable. satellite for 1 way video is fine, carriers use it for backhaul on a regular basis, but interactive video suffers the same difficulties as interactive voice.
so with the amount of latency already involved i would try to reduce any further quality impairments caused by voip or digital video processing. satellite offers a variety of quality impairments of its Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=71943&t=71706 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
