They'll also make it much more acceptable for staff to use Skype, if they're installing it on their own BYOD devices. Using standard protocols will make it easier for admins to control access, and to manage bandwidth. That's because future versions of Skype and Lync will support the standard STUN, TURN and ICE protocols for media traversal. With a peer-to-peer connection for media, getting across the firewall to connect Lync to Skype could have remained an issue. Skype used to be famous for the ways it would find to get across networks, and back in my consulting days I would rely on its skills to stay in touch with colleagues when working on client sites - in one case watching it use an open FTP port to get around the firewall protecting a rather paranoid client's network. It's easy then to imagine a meeting where home attendees log in via Skype, and who then remain part of the meeting rather than dropping out due to poor call quality. While video will be carried using the familiar H.264, SILK will give Lync access to Skype's HD audio capabilities.Īs Skype's Barry Castle told us, improved audio means longer calls, and more interaction in meetings.
#LYNC WEB APP TEST MEETING SOFTWARE#
Architecture of an on-premises Lync/Skype V2 connectionĬlient software is currently being tested, as getting the two to work together will entail delivering new codecs to Lync specifically giving Lync Skype's SILK audio codec. That's why in the second generation federation architecture, signalling is still passed through the federation service, while media are delivered peer-to-peer - even for Lync clients and servers that sit behind the firewall. That's all very well for relatively low bandwidth services like voice and IM, but it's likely to form a bottleneck for video. In the original Skype/Lync federation architecture, both signalling and media followed the same paths through the cloud federation service. The big question, then, is how will it work?

The intention is to provide tools that will allow the millions of Skype users to interconnect with Lync, providing new channels for businesses to connect with customers, users and partners. One of the main news stories from last week's Lync Conference in Las Vegas was that the next release of Lync would support not just Skype audio and IM, but also video.
