SCOPIA iVIEW Management Suite's sophisticated cascading algorithms enable administrators to
customize the priority given to cascading in a distributed topology.
There are a number of factors that might influence when the system chooses to cascade to a
different MCU. For example, if the maximum bandwidth threshold is breached, the system would
attempt cascading with a different MCU.
The priorities of cascading can be customized in a number of ways:
For details on configuring cascading conferences, see the Administrator Guide for SCOPIA iVIEW
Management Suite.
