Digitized edition from print [produced by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada]. Includes bibliographical references (page 21). "During 1996 and 1997 CRC participated with a consortium of European research and industrial organisations in a European Union sponsored Project called MERCI (Multimedia European Research Conferencing Integration). The objective of MERCI was to investigate the technical and human factors issues and to develop technology components for multimedia collaboration on the Internet. This report introduces briefly the MERCI Project and the method of work adopted by the partners. The report describes the contributions that CRC made to the project and presents our observations about the state of multicasting and videoconferencing on the Internet. CRC results from MERCI included the development of a general framework for the analysis of videoconferencing to support network monitoring and human factors studies, measurement of the performance of several trans-Atlantic IP multicast connections and experimental integration of these into the European MBone infrastructure, and the development and deployment of several new multicast network monitoring and polling tools"--Abstract.
