(Release) Who's speaking functionality (external contribution) Firewall/NAT traversal (UMTP?) –Port number in use P2P (e.g. aspen) – source specfic behaviours (external contribution) SRTP support –Signalling issues, rekeying H.263 improved (UKERNA) – dependent upon GW initiative Low bandwidth support (i.e. don't receive video if don't want) (Release)
