Análisis, Configuración y Pruebas de Rendimiento de un Sistema de Videoconferencia en Redes IP utilizando Software Libre

Abstract

This documentation includes configuration and performance testing of a Video Conferencing System over IP networks using Open Source Software, which seeks as main target to provide extraordinary benefits to unified communications between distant users who are connected simultaneously, without extra charges. Performance tests were done following specifications and international standards in order to verify whether a video conferencing session is acceptable enough as well on Local Networks as on Wide Area Networks. To reach this goal, using open source software such as Openmeetings is encouraged which runs over Linux Operating System, as a result, expenses related to build up a video conferencing infrastructure will be notably lower since specialized devices, additional hardware, private software or different technology will not be used.
