目前多媒体通信技术已进入黄金发展时期，在多媒体应用领域中，多媒体远程会议（特别是视频会议）是迄今为止发展最快的领域。现有的视频会议系统，大多数限于点对点的形式。即使是一些多点视频会议系统也是采用专用的硬件设备，系统复杂、造价昂贵，不适合大范围推广。文章介绍了一个可在Windows95，WinNT个人机和TCP／IP网络环境中运行的纯软件实现的基于IP网络的多点对多点视频会议系统。文中详细地叙述了它的体系结构和各主要组成部分的设计考虑。
At present, multimedia communication technology has entered a golden period of development. In multimedia applications, multimedia teleconferencing (especially videoconferencing) is by far the fastest-growing field. The majority of existing video conferencing systems are limited to point-to-point formats. Even if some multi-point video conferencing systems are also using dedicated hardware devices, the system is complex and expensive, not suitable for a wide range of promotion. This paper introduces a pure IP-based multi-point-to-multipoint video conferencing system that runs in Windows 95, WinNT personal computer and TCP / IP network environment. The article describes in detail its architecture and design considerations for each major component.
