Options 1-2 provide lower QOS (Quality of Service) than items 3-4. This
also applies to Streaming Audio and Video from your web server. The more
connections you place in the conference, the lower the quality or speed,
which ever one is appropriately configured for QOS. You can also increase
LAN-to-WAN and WAN-to-LAN conferences if all routers involved speak the
same "multimedia" language, Cisco is currently one of the top-rated
manufacturers for multimedia-enhanced products.
If that's enough info to get you started, I'll dig up some of my research.

Subject: Internet Video Calls/Conferencing
I am currently testing NM2.1, CUSeeMe 3.1, VDOPhone 3.0,
Connectix Videophone, and Intel's product. All with a Quickcam
VC. The performance of these products for the most part has
been surprisingly good despite using a 33.6 connection.
Just wondering if anyone is using these programs and what
you experience has been with the the different packages and also
the hardware involved.
I would like to offer an educated recommendation to my customers
when asked and have not had much luck finding reviews on
current versions of the software or hardware. I am hoping to get in
some additional cameras to try out different hardware.
FYI: So far NM2.1 and VDOPhone have been the best performers
for me. All I am currently testing is just the video calling performance.
TIA
