Abstract
Multimedia Conferencing is one of the major applications in the domain of networks that is
being taken into consideration in the Internet. Multimedia Conferencing System (MCS) is widely
used today as a communication tool over the Internet. Currently, the MCS uses a dedicated entity
to deliver audio and video to multimedia conferencing participants over WAN or Internet called
Multiple LAN Internet Protocol Converter (MLle). This entity used IPv4 unicasting to deliver
the audio and video. The work reported in this thesis proposes and implements a new innovative
multimedia conferencing system based on IPv6 multicasting capability. The new proposed
system improves the video quality and uses less than 50% of bandwidth used by current MCS
when more than 3 users participate in a conference. The mechanism used in this research
conserves bandwidth and effectively prevent network congestion, especially for cases such as
video conferencing that involve a large-volume data transmission. This research introduces the
concept of IPv6, multicast mechanisms related to the principal, and the realization of MPEG
video streams in the IPv6 multicast transmission line. The MPEG is used for implementation
purposes, any other video codec can be used with the same design.
