Amazing. Are there any optimizations for video conferencing in case one participant doesn't have upload bandwidth to stream his video to 10 different IP addresses at once?

I was fidgeting with the tought of something like a overlay multicast network on top of unicast IP, since RFC 1770 was deprecated/never implemented.

Right. In Jami by default only the host of a conference/rendezvous-point will stream to/from all peers and mix their streams, and other peers normally only stream to/from the conference host. Also Jami can automatically adjust the call's bitrate on the fly depending on the link quality:

Hope this helps. :)

Nice! Thank you for the link!
