Open concurrent network communication methods in building distributed web applications

The attractiveness of real-time multimedia communication as part of an e-learningplatform largely depends on the quality of the telecommunications infrastructure and on theservices that support the exchange of audiovisual data. The research subject of this workis communication between stationary and mobile devices using distributed services such asWeb Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) running in HTML5 compliant web browsers. Thetest connections were carried out in a peer-to-peer architecture over a local wireless WiFinetwork and a mobile network supporting the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard fordata interchange. Several audiovisual sessions between two clients were analyzed for differentconnection scenarios. Parameters responsible for the transmission quality, such as delay, jitter,packet loss, or the speed of sending and receiving video frames were measured for each scenario.Open audiovisual communication system performance experiments were conducted under realoperating conditions. The obtained results indicated potential applications in the developmentof e-learning websites.
