Abstract

Video calling allows for real time face to face communication. Skype is currently one of the leading video calling applications, it uses hybrid peer to peer network architecture which requires super nodes, central servers, internet connection as part of resources. Previous researches have proven that the network architecture used by Skype demands high bandwidth and expensive resources ,the researchers proposed alternative approaches for implementing video calling applications and network architectures that could help in minimizing bandwidth usage and resource requirements in comparison to Skype.The research project implements a LAN video calling application (VinceS-tool) using the proposed alternative approaches, to minimize bandwidth consumption and resource requirements during video calling.
