@davep You can run video calls over jitsi. IPv6 was supposed to solve NAT, so fewer servers would be needed. Supposed to. @yawnbox

@davep @yawnbox @Mer__edith Bandwidth would not be an issue I’m fairly certain.

@davep @yawnbox @Mer__edith Pretty sure that wouldn't even be as big of an issue as long as you don't try to exit the network. You could even potentially improve the throughput ability by making every client that wants to use the network a node that relays traffic when it doesn't have active calls, however that's not suited to be automatically activated on mobile devices with limited power or even data caps. (But I would imagine people would be willingly donate resources to such a network if a simple separate application was offered the same way as it's done with TOR already)

@davep @yawnbox @Mer__edith Regarding Tor: instant messaging (if you stretch "instant" to cover several seconds which is acceptable in practice) have been successfully ran over Tor and other distributed settings. Regarding video not relying on a centralized infra: Skype during its Kazaa-/pre-Microsoft- era and its "Super nodes" has been a widely successful example of a video calling software that doesn't rely that much on centralisation (but of course with a completely different security model)
