Capabilities and limitations
A VCS appliance (or equivalent VM) supports up to 1800 relay allocations. This is typically enough to

support 100 calls but does depend on the network topology and the number of media stream components
used for the call (for example, some calls may use Duo Video, or other calls might be audio only). A Large
VM supports up to 6000 relays, spread evenly across 6 ports where each port is limited to handling 1000
relays.
Clustered VCSs: if the requested TURN server's relays are fully allocated the server will respond to the

requesting client with the details of an alternative server in the cluster (the TURN server currently with the
most available resources).
The VCS's TURN services are supported over single and dual network interfaces (via the Advanced
n
Networking option). For dual network interfaces, the TURN server listens on both interfaces but relays are
allocated only on the VCS's externally facing LAN interface.
If static NAT is enabled on the VCS Expressway, the TURN relay candidate address that is offered will be

Usage tips
To allow endpoints such as Jabber Video
to discover TURN services, you need to set
up a DNS SRV record for _turn._udp.
(either for the single port, or range of ports
as appropriate).
If TURN services are already enabled,
any changes to the port numbers do not
come into effect until the TURN services
are restarted.
