Communication between sides
What are you learning in this part of the course? One important problem is the uniaxial connection between the two sides of a streaming session - it is just not possible to call on the other side, if there is a live broadcast going on - the call would be part of the whole broadcast. In this chapter specific other techniques are tought to communicate nevertheless between the two sides.

One important point is of course chatting, the IRC. This is well introduced here. Of course also other techniques (Instant messengers) can be used, but are not introduced here. Principally you should use the programm you feel most comfortable with.

In this chapter you learn

  • to set up a chat connection between the two sides of a stream
  • the most powerfull tool ssh to be used as a remote ontrol for the server and also possibly for the other side.
