didnt microsoft remove the p2p functionality and made skype highly centralized?
- Karunamon 10y agoYes, but speaking from experience, that change resulted in a huge improvement in call quality. The P2P architecture is nice but leaves you at the mercy of your nearest node's internet connection and usage.
- wslh 10y agoNot my experience. Having network issues all the time.
- bayofpigs 10y agoYes.. very important to allow monitoring of calls.
- wwice 10y agoThey did so because it was hard to do P2P for Skype on phones.
- jacquesm 10y agoI figured that was just a figleaf and that the real reason was that this made it easier to intercept the traffic.
