Disruptions with poor connection

[paulmenzel]

What happened?

A VC between Firefox Nightly 129.0a1~20240620040816 on Debian sid/unstable and Windows 11 with Google Chrome, the network connection was very poor (due to country and probably WiFI) and that caused audio loss, stalled video and in the end connection interruption. Using a BigBlueButton 2.3 server there was no loss of connection and only partly stalled video which then gracefully recovered.

How could this be debugged so a newer Jitsi is on par with an old BigBlueButton server?

There were some breaking changes in Firefox w.r.t to DTLS. Are you able to upgrade to the latest stable jitsi-meet 2.0.9584 and check if the issue persists? You can run a quick test on meet.jit.si as well.

Thank you. I am running 2.0.9635-1 now, but unfortunately, I won’t be able to reproduce the issue as the communication partner is not at that location anymore. If you know how to simulate bad network connection I could try it though.

[jallamsetty1]

You can use a tool like network link conditioner on macOS to simulate bad network connection.

Thank you. Sorry for not specifying my system. I am using GNU/Linux.
