Hi,

When doing online proctoring, there is a lot of data flying back and forth: you 
have the life-webcam and the screen-capture. Compared to that, the LON-CAPA 
traffic is minimal.

If students are running these exams from bad connections, there will be 
problems. Some provides really stink, or they throttle the bandwidth after a 
certain amount of data transfer. To survive this, you will need to make it the 
students’ responsibility to find a site with a stable, fast, and decent 
internet connection. Otherwise, since it is sometimes not in the students’ best 
interest to make this work flawlessly (after all, who really wants to take a 
math exam?), you will get all kinds of problems: real, imaginary, or blown out 
of proportion.
