WHAT AFFECT DO PROXIES AND FIREWALLS HAVE ON VIDEO CONFERENCING?
Proxies and firewall might degrade the performance of the video conferencing if the traffic is tunneled via HTTP. The software tries to choose the best possible mode of transport automatically. In the event where it cannot connect direct to our servers via persistent TCP connection, the traffic is tunneled ( video traffic now will be encapsulated in HTTP protocol and will look like web traffic ). This will degrade the end user experience.
