4 IHU \- Peer-to-peer (P2P) Voice-over-IP (VoIP) application
10 I Hear U (IHU) is a Voice-over-IP (VoIP) application for Linux that
11 creates an audio stream between two computers easily and with the
12 minimal traffic on the network.
14 Its main features are:
16 * Peer-to-Peer: the communication takes place directly between the
17 computers (UDP and TCP both supported), without need of session
18 protocols (such as SIP or H323) or other servers in the middle.
20 * Good audio performance: IHU was born to give the best audio
21 performance, low latency above all. For this purpose IHU is
22 compatible with ALSA, now the default Linux sound architecture,
23 but also with JACK, a low latency sound server. For the audio
24 compression, IHU uses Speex, a codec optimized for speech.
26 * Crypted stream: you have also the possibility to Encrypt/Decrypt the
27 stream using a fast hybrid cryptographic system (RSA + Blowfish)
29 * Command-line support: the Qt GUI is not strictly necessary, you can run
30 also a textual IHU from command-line (for example if you need to run
31 the program on remote computers).
33 The possibilities of use of IHU are endless, for example you can use it
34 like a phone to talk with your friends all around the world, or at home
35 or work to talk between computers in the LAN (talkback), etc.
39 Wait for incoming calls
42 Call HOST (DNS or IP address)
48 Encrypt the outgoing stream
57 Start without GUI (no interaction)
61 This is where IHU reads its config information. You have to edit this
62 file to change the settings directly when using the --nogui option.
