Hi NetPro´s,
I´m actually working on a Intercom solution that should be able to broadcast the UDP RTP stream to different locations (over the WAN).
Therefore I already tested a behaviour (with NAT) to convert a single UDP stream (that will be send over the WAN) to the destination edge and then convert the UDP stream into a multicast address, where the IP phones are able to receive the stream, here´s the flow:
conversion
^^
<Phone> --unicast--> <WAN Edge> --unicast--> <WAN Edge> --multicast--> <Phone>
|Chicago| |Chicago| | NYC | | NYC |
So this above mentioned behaviour works fine..
However, in the second level I want to be able addressing many other locations (e.g. NYC, Boston, etc.), but I´m only able to place one unicast stream. Is there a mechanisms that is able to split one unicast stream into multiple unicast streams?
It should look like this:
conversion conversion

<Phone> --unicast--> <WAN Edge> --unicast--> <WAN Edge> --multicast--> <Phone>
|Chicago| |Chicago| | | NYC | | NYC |
|
|--unicast--> <WAN Edge> --multicast--> <Phone>
| Boston | | Boston|
Would be great to hear your idea´s...
Cheers
Torsten.
