  1. GDS and The Internet2 Commons Gabriel W. Moulton Technology Engineer The Ohio State University Seventh Annual Digital Video Conference March 31, 2005 Atlanta, Georgia

  2. What Is GDS? • The Global Dialing Scheme • A structure for peering between gatekeepers, such that any endpoint associated with a ViDeNet zone may dial an endpoint in any other ViDeNet zone • ViDeNet Version 3 Dial Plan • A numbering plan for global video and voice over IP • The Internet2 Commons uses GDS based addressing

  3. Why do I need it? • The Internet2 Commons uses GDS based dialing • It allows for dialing to any GDS enabled gatekeeper without changing any settings • As a site coordinator you will have to teach your users how to use it

  4. How does it work? • Each number has four parts • International Access Code (IAC) (also called the world gatekeeper prefix)- defined as 00 • A Country Code (CC)- follows the ITU international access code system (1 for the US) • An Organizational Prefix (OP)- ViDeNet assigned them; some countries use area code/exchange prefix • An Endpoint Number (EN)- a unique number (sometimes called H.323 extension) assigned to each endpoint by each organization (could be a E164 number or any other unique number) • In summary the numbers are ordered: • IAC CC OP EN

  5. GDS for endpoints at the commons • The IAC is “00” • The CC is “1” • The Internet2 Commons was assigned an OP of 189 • For the EN, we use your full 10 digit phone number • This is due to endpoints from all over the country registering with our GK • It also enables easy contacting of users • If you have more than one Video station and only one telephone number, follow the phone number by an integer • The number of my telephone on my desk at Ohio State is 614 292 8443 and the GDS dial number of my Viewstation is thus: • 00 1 189 6142928443 (spaces for readability only)

  6. GDS for multipoint conferences • To get to the commons GK it’s the same as before (001189) • For conferences the next three digits denote the MCU and conference type • 780 calls the Polycom MCU • 700 calls the Radvision MCU • The final four digits are four your specific instance of a conference • Complete conference string is • 00 1 189 780 1234
