Claudio Allocchio TERENA VP Technical Programme TERENA GA – Rhodes, 10 – 11 June TAC - Discussion Topics (1) VIDEO-STREAMING Expand to users - not for techies --> service ! Reliable delivery of packets (Bandwidth, delay…) Facility cordination, dialling schemas Collaboration! Expertise and facilities discovery!
