  3. Introduction In today’s business model, collaboration and communication in real time is paramount to the success of an individual and/or company. To address this need, the Microsoft Exchange Conferencing Server provides a full range of audio/video and data conferencing services for the both the intranet and Internet workspace.

  4. Connectivity MethodsMulticast vs. H.323 • Multicast • Spanning Tree • IGMP (RFC 2236)(http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2236.html)(Note that this is not a Microsoft site) • One-to-many • Not used in general internet connectivity • H.323 • Unicast • Internet traversal • Firewalls and routers

  5. Codec Bandwidth Requirements • Audio • G.711 – 70 Kbps (default) • GSM 6.10 – 30 Kbps • Video • H.261 – 90 Kbps • H.263 – 90 Kbps (default) • (Only sends screen updates)

  6. RequirementsServer • Conferencing modes • Memory and CPU • Multicast – No additional memory required • H.323 – PII 450 MHz ~ 256 MB will host approx. 40 users • T.120 – PII 450 MHz ~ 256 MB will host approx. 2,000 users (*500 recommended) • Bandwidth * • Multicast (audio and video) – 128 Kbps or higher • T.120 (data) – 28.8 Kbps or higher • H.323 (data, audio, and video) – 160 Kbps or higher
