Congratulations to Stephen Strowes
on submitting his MSci dissertation on
Peer-to-Peer Audio
Conferencing. This dissertation proposes a new overlay multicast
service, Orta, that can be used for real-time group conferencing. As
a proof-of-concept, the Robust-Audio Tool has been modified to use
Orta in place of IP multicast. Stephen presents implementation details
and evaluation results detailing the characteristics of the overlay,
with some focus on its usefulness for real-time applications.
