403 A: Yes it does. The new version of the protocol supports sending of 404 MIME objects as messages. Since MIME objects can easily represent any 405 kind of data, such as video stream, audio stream, images, etc. it is 406 easy to send these multimedia messages in SILC. It also makes video 407 conferencing possible with SILC. It can work by sending the stream(s) 408 to a channel and everybody who joins the channel can receive the 409 stream. This feature in the protocol surely makes possible many kind 410 of multimedia applications in the future.
