Integration of NaradaBrokering and Audio/Video Conferencing as a Web Service

Audio/Video Conferencing Systems need communication channels between their clients in order to transport RTP packets from one client to another. In this paper we investigate audio/video conferencing as a Web Service and the deployment of publish/subscribe systems in the context of audio/video conferencing systems. In this paper we use our research system NaradaBrokering, which supports both peer-to-peer and publish/subscribe paradigms, as a test bed to investigate these ideas. We also present results from our research system.
