Correct me if mistaken, but isnt Skype voice transmission peer to peer? Wouldn't it be burdensome and very expensive to transmit the voice data back to a central server in order to be warehoused?
- RyanZAG 14y agoI believe Skype transitioned to client-server-client some time ago to allow for Mobile-Mobile skype calls and similar. P2P may still be available (someone with some time and a packet sniffer could check?), but it is not the way most people use Skype these days.
- stratosvoukel 14y agoThank you!
- hwatson 14y agoIt's P2P on desktop if you forwarded ports or if UPnP works correctly. Skype has documentation on how to check this over here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1544/is-my-call-being-relayed-in-skype-for-windows-desktop https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1544/is-my-call-being-rel...
- ajuc 14y agoNot P2P anymore. Everything goes throught Microsoft servers.
- reyan 14y agoAre you sure this is the case even for the old desktop versions? I'm still using 2.8 (OS X) and last time I checked it seemed to connect P2P.
