Estudio comparativo de aplicaciones software para video streaming y pasarelas en servicios de videoconferencia para la ESPOCH.

Abstract

The comparative study of software applications for Video Streaming and Gateways determined the best software application with the objective of providing videoconferencing service in ESPOCH. The appropriate method for our research study is the Analytic, which allows to present qualitative and quantitative information on the subject, complementing the research with the Benchmark technique that is the study of comparative performance. In the research the following materials were used in hardware: 3 computers, 2 webcams, 2 microphones and in software: Ubuntu Operating System, Isabel and Ekiga applications; Measuring tools like Jperf and Beacon. We obtained the following results of the parameters compared: jitter of 0.3514ms, latency of 1.192ms, and loss of datagrams 0.56%; Being significantly lower than Ekiga that presented 0.981ms, 2.18ms, 4% respectively, demonstrating that Isabel is the best option in audio and video transmissions, achieving a more natural communication, and facilitating the provision of telereunion, teleconferencing and teleclass services . In conclusion, Isabel's implementation allows the integration of services through the Gateway-Flash, Streaming (Red5) gateways, which facilitates the expansion of access to a videoconference. We recommend using the Isabel software, being free allows you to reduce costs, facilitates having many independent videoconferencing terminals, expanding the connection points for this service in the institution.
