I have no problem with WebRTC based videoconferencing. In fact, I think it is pretty good for 2-4 endpoints. But when you have lower cost laptops, they drag down the conferencing because of the compositing and mixing and multiple stream transmission load, even with 2-3 other participants. [Wh

Right, if you overprovision the network, and under-utilize it with CBR links, then clearly you can get quality, at a high cost. I don't think you can make a lot of money at this, because ultimately terrestrial providers came in and ate that lunch. only in urban areas, there are still large pa

SPRING (I thought) was just packet routing over a set of connected nodes that avoids creating routing tables. I.e. Source Packet RoutING. Now I happen to have written one of the earliest papers on source routing, and also authored the IP source routing options, explaining the advantages of using
