- noahtallen 7y agoWe had 500 people on a meeting yesterday. Not all broadcasting, but plenty still sending video. Works just as well as a 3 person call.
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoVery cool! They got the conference server stuff right then. Its critical to manage bandwidth, share streams, have backpressure at every stage. So easy to have packets pile up at unexpected places (bufferbloat-like) and experience delayed audio or dropouts. Also, resilience thru network changes and weird packet behavior. Back then we encountered home routers that would drop 50% (every other) UDP packets! And reorder UDP, which is very much better to survive and recover than to drop. As I recall, our product would let you walk around with your laptop, roaming from Wifi to Wifi, plugging and unplugging your wired connection, and it would switch seamlessly to the new network, all streams intact. That was a cool product. Sigh.
