Teleconferencing is an essential feature in any business telephone system. A teleconference allows associates to engage in a group discussion by conducting a virtual meeting while remaining at geographically dispersed locations. Teleconferencing increases productivity while reducing travel costs and saving travel time.

In a VoIP telephone system, we face the significant challenge of providing a teleconference feature that can support a large-scale teleconference without using excessive bandwidth. This paper presents a new, bandwidthefficient way of implementing a real-time VoIP teleconference system^1. This new method provides all of the features that existing teleconference systems provide, but this new approach consumes considerably less data bandwidth than existing systems require. The new system allows a network with a given capacity to accommodate almost double the number of conference participants that an existing system would allow.

Index Terms:
VoIP, teleconference system, audio mixing, IP Multicast, bandwidth conservation, business telephone system.
