Hey, this month I’ve started working on the implementation of a voice chat feature. So far my local tests are looking good, transferring raw audio data from one client to another, essentially streaming it. Latency of all the cryptographic overhead does not seem to be an issue. It’s still possible there are optimizations needed but for a first implementation it’s looking good. I’m still waiting for further practical multi-device tests on either NAT traversal or improved peer perception in local networks using GNUnet . Also there’s still ongoing work on the testing system to create local multi-device test cases using network namespaces . Until one of those options is solid, it’s difficult to verify whether latency or bandwidth need further improvements. So I’ve continued implementing the required API in libgnunetchat and I’am already working on the graphical interface for it in the GTK client. Because those parts don’t need to wait for the back-end anyway and it makes practical tests
