Comparisons between Distributed Connections and Centralized Connections of Multimedia Streams for Computer-based Audio-Video Teleconferences

To support various multimedia applications. MuX server produces object-oriented and consistent interfaces for creation, copying, splitting, mixing and interleaving of streams. In this paper, we describes distributed connection structures and centralized connection structures which can be used in building a teleconferencing system using basic objects of MuX and compares merits and demerits of each structure from the viewpoint of multimedia related performance like delay and synchronization.
