Pipes are predefined paths between zones that indicate the limited bandwidth available
between zones. Internally, the pipe bandwidth limit is set to 64 Mbps. If your network
contains multiple zones, you must create pipes.
Polycom ReadiManager LX100 uses router emulation to predict which paths the
network routers will use when the actual calls are made. This enables the Network
Aware Scheduler to accurately determine whether enough bandwidth will be available
for the call. In order to make the right decisions, the Network Aware Scheduler must
understand the network topology. To ensure the scheduler makes the correct decisions,
network pipe and zone information are required entries.
For example, say you have three zones, A, B, and C. If you want to place a call from A
to C, but the pipe between A and C is too loaded, Network Aware Scheduler knows the
network routers will use the path from A to B to C.
