[Tobia C. <tob...@un...>]

The Work in Progress version of DCON platform is available in the project
download page, with these new features implemented so far:

implementation of a new, more flexible, focus discovery and presence mana=
ger
component;
support for the new functionality and messages of the Scheduling Protocol=
;
remote user invite to a conference;
implementation of a Dispatcher which is in charge to dialog with the (new
created in CONFIANCE) Gateway componet;
forwarding of Conference Control and BFCP messages to the rigth remote
destination by means of an XMPP incapsulation and of a label switching
mechanism.

>From this moment DCON really works!!!

If a user belonging to a focus wants to join a conference hosted by a rem=
ote
focus he/she simply calls the selected conference number as well as if it=
 were
a local conference. The centralized focus understands the conference isn'=
t
local and triggers the exchange of a set of messages needed to setup an R=
TP
channel (only for audio) between the involved foci and to add the remote =
user
to the conference. From this moment all messages related to natively
centralized protocols (e.g. BFCP) are appropriately routed and dispatched
through the s2s channel. In such way the management of floors is performe=
d by
the FCS on the focus hosting the conference. Media flows instead are loca=
lly
mixed on each cascaded focus and then sent through the RTP channel to the
hosting focus. The hosting focus will mix all its local users' media with=
 the
incoming flow from all the cascaded foci, and send them back the final mi=
