Second Review
It's been a busy few weeks. The second review hand in is now over and done with, and I've submitted a nearly completed research chapter on formal testing. I say nearly complete because I'm not yet familier enough with the subject to write a paper that covers everything that it needs to. But, it's started and the progress report has been submitted along side it.

Upate & Research Topics
Been a reasonably productive couple of weeks. I finally have the computer I needed from the uni to start running test servers on, so as soon as the 2nd review is out of the way in a couple of weeks I can resume my practical testing.
I also (I think) have my TOR finalised - I have my 2 reasonable research topics to do chapters on:
1. Evaluation & comparison of VoIP and Video Conferencing to inform practical work
2. Performing and documenting formal testing of network services
Hopefully this should be the last re-draft, but if they keep giving me hoops I guess I have to keep jumping. Now I just need to decide which one of these to use for the research chapter that needs submitting at my second review. And of course write the damn thing.

Video Testing 1
Performed first video conferencing test with TokBox today. Notes can be found here. Further testing under different conditions necessary. Other tester connected to internet via 3G mobile internet. While this provides interesting info on the use of these services from varying types of network connections it does not provide an accurate picture of the services using standard broadband and associated network speeds, which is a base line that is required for accurate testing.
Also spoke to other tester via Skype. No notes produced for this yet, but performance was considerably better than that of TokBox. Will produce and publish notes asap.

A test video post using Tokbox
Really need to rope in some victims to help me test the conferencing side of it. I hope the lag isn't there when it's running live.
