Clustering

Cascading

*
*

**

*Requires TelePresence Server (8710) or MCU (8510) blades in a

MSE 8000 chassis, or 5300 series
** Available with TS 4.0 and XC2.4

Combining similar multipoint resources into a single conferencing

resource whos capacity is the combination of all individual instances

Stacking: A form of clustering that does not rely on a chassis based

architecture (like the MSE 8000). With stacking, two appliance

models can be combined in to a single cluster through use of a
special stacking cable between the two devices.

Cascading
Having two or more separate conferencing resources (can be
standalone or clustered resources) call to each other to
increase capacity. Cascading more than two resources is
accomplished in a hub and spoke architecture.

TelePresence Server
Clustering and Cascading
Clustering
A group of blades, hosted on the same Cisco TelePresence MSE 8000 chassis, that

are linked together to behave as a single unit. The Supervisor MSE 8050 is used to
configure and manage clusters.
Cluster up to four 8710s in release 2.2 and later
Slot 10 of the MSE 8000 cannot be used in a cluster but can be a standalone

TelePresence Server.
Up to two Multimedia 310 or 320 platforms can be clustered to increase capacity

Cascading
Available via the API only in TS 4.0. (Remotely Managed Mode only)
Requires Conductor XC2.4 .

Types of Conferences
Ad hoc
Impromptu meetings, they are not scheduled beforehand ,nor require an administrator to initiate them.
Suitable for smaller, on-the-fly, meetings. A point-to-point call escalated to a multipoint call is considered
ad hoc.

Rendezvous
Also called meet-me/permanent/static conferences, requires endpoints to dial in to a pre-determined
number. Often used for recurring meetings which involve different endpoints each time.
Scheduled Conference (discussed later)

Provides a guarantee that endpoints and multipoint resources will be available at a certain time.
Endpoints join manually or are automatically connected by the multipoint resource.

Method of Integration
Back to Back User Agent (B2BUA)

B2BUA Back to Back User agent

is a logical network element in SIP applications. SIP is a signaling protocol to
manage multimedia (VoIP) telephone calls. A back-to-back user agent
operates between both end points of a phone call or communications
session and divides the communication channel into two call legs and
mediates all SIP signaling between both ends of the call, from call
establishment to termination. As all control messages for each call flow
through the B2BUA, a service provider may implement value-added features
available during the call.
In the originating call leg the B2BUA acts as a user agent server (UAS) and
processes the request as a user agent client (UAC) to the destination end,
handling the signaling between end points back-to-back. A B2BUA maintains
complete state for the calls it handles. Each side of a B2BUA operates as a
standard SIP network element as specified in RFC 3261.

Optimized Conferencing
Conductor with TelePresence Server - using only the resources it needs

Conductor allocates screen licenses based on TelePresence Server's reports of

what the endpoints require. The reports are affected by several factors:
1. Participant quality setting of the Conductor's conference template, provides an upper limit to
the number of screen licenses that can be allocated to a participant for video and audio
2. The Content quality setting of the Conductor's conference template, which provides an upper
limit to the number of screen licenses that can be allocated to a participant for content
3. The endpoint's advertised maximum resolution
4. The endpoint's advertised receive bandwidth (Behavior is configurable with Optimization
Profiles discussed in next slide)
