Subject: Video conferencing on Plan 9/Inferno
Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2020 18:47:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86r1wsfsns.fsf@cmarib.ramside> (raw)
When the Inferno operating system (a descendent of Plan 9) was
developed, one of its primary intended applications was video
conferencing/streaming. With concern about the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and
people trying to keep at a distance from one another, there has been a
huge surge in intrest in (and application of) video conferencing.
What facilities do Plan 9/Inferno offer for making conference calls,
1-to-1 video calls, and/or video conferences? Assuming 9P2000 is used
(with a sufficiently large msize to provide adequate throughput), what
would the file system API look like? Could it be done in a peer-to-peer
fashion, without having to send all of the video through a central
server?
It's an interesting question to ponder... and an apropos time to be
pondering it.
