Page 50: Appendices
Appendices IP Network Requirements for Videocommunication The network requirements for point-point connections between IP videoconferencing terminals are as follows. The complete network path connecting two IP terminals must have a constant available bandwidth for the whole duration of the connection. The effective bandwidth used on LAN/WAN Full-Duplex network connections is equal to the sum of the Audio Rate and Video Rate, plus approximately 20% for TCP/IP overhead. - Page 51 A second solution is the improvement of the network by the introduction of an ALG, but this is intrusive and potentially expensive. ALGs are software packages specifically designed for firewalls from various producers that examine every packet attempting to pass through the firewall in order to determine whether it concerns a known protocol like H.323 or SIP.
- Page 52 NAT (Network Address Translation) Network Address Translation is an Internet standard that allows a LAN (Local Area Network) to use a set of IP addresses for internal traffic and another address (or set of addresses) to connect to services on an external network (the internet, for example).
- Page 53 An example of a firewall ALG follows. The Aethra Application Level Gateway is present in the Aethra Stargate xDSL Router and allows any videoconferencing terminal, independent of its manufacturer, resolve the NAT/firewall problem. The Stargate router is capable of checking every incoming and outgoing H.323 call and dynamically opening...
