Abstract

A method for distributed voice conferencing in a fast packet network packetizes the speech into speech fast packets. The speech fast packets are transmitted to a central conference handier. The conference handier then provides the speech fast packets to the appropriate users. Another method of voice conferencing in a fast packet network is to send the speech fast packets directly to every other user in the voice conference.
