An advice to improve audio and video quality in p2p system

[SoonyangZhang]

the tox-core may make some peers to relay calls just like Skype to improve audio and video quality in p2p system.The default path between peer to peer is far from the ideal path for inactive multimedia communication due to triangle inequality violations in current network.And a peer may select several relays to transmit multimedia data to exploit path diversity. The DHT can be used to store Relay information. Just some advice.

Could you please elaborate your advice in order for us to better understand it, please ?

Anyway, thanks for the advice. We gladly accept them and are open to any kind of suggestion 🙂

Currently,it is just some rough idea,and details need to be considered. There are a lot study on overlay resource allocation to enhance multimedia transmission.
So the DHT network could be exploited to store some routing information,like the technology of GEOIP or GEOHASH.So the data may be transmitted through multipath channel,for example,
one way is the default path and the other could exploit peer C working as as intermediary to relay data between Alice and Bob.So the key point is how to select relay node,and how to store this kind information in the tox network.
And there are some reference:

I'm not sure what to get from this suggestion. Either way, things like this are far in the future and maybe something implementable on top of tox instead of inside it.
