Abstract
A communications system and method utilizes peer-to-peer architecture to provide 'quality' real-time communications in a non-guaranteed, packet-based network. Quality real-time communications in a non-guaranteed, packet-based network is achieved by (i) minimizing packet loss, (ii) minimizing latency, and (iii) minimizing the artifacts caused by packet loss. The system distributes control of functionality to the peer communication devices, thereby eliminating the need for a central processor to establish peer-to-peer communications. Each of the peer communication devices has the capability to respond to variations in network loading to provide quality real-time communications.
