Abstract
The purpose of this project was to determine the feasibility of using an ethernet local area network (LAN) to support videoconferencing connections between CAMEO Macintosh desktop videoconferencing systems. The specific goals were to: (1) to ensure that CAMEO video could be transported-without protocol modification-via existing ethernet networks, and would do so without ``bringing-down`` the network; (2) to measure the effect of CAMEO video connections on ethernet traffic; (3) to evaluate qualitatively how generated ethernet traffic effects the CAMEO video; and (4) to evaluate qualitatively how multiple CAMEO connections work between two routered ethernet networks via a backbone. High quality CAMEO video can be transported on an ethernet network and between routered networks, via a backbone. The number of simultaneous video connections possible on an ethernet segment would probably be less than 45, since each connection uses 2.2% of the network and errors increase rapidly as video connections are made. However, the actual number of simultaneous video connections possible will depend upon your network implementation and the amount of ``normal`` traffic present. The remainder of this report discusses the effect of CAMEO video on our networks.
