cisco 2811 routers to route video over ip for polycom equipment.

[paulnigel]

Hi forum,

We are currently using polycom equipments over ISDN links for video conferencing, however, we intend to switch to our EIGRP E1 lines for that. all our sites are currently using 2811 routers to route both data and voip traffic. How do I provision the network so that I can use my E1 lines for video over ip, How should I design it?

Besides, How do i provide video over ip service to my mobile users who vpn into my network.

Thanks and best regards,

paul

1. set the interface to correct b/w

2. lower the load interval

3. placed both video streams in one class instead of two classes

first, on provisioning your network for video over ip, make sure you can implement the QoS required to provide a clear, unchoppy video stream.

your design could look something like the following:

polycom >> network >> router >> E1 >> router >> network >> user

(very basic description, you may require more detail depeding on your needs)

also, for video over ip to your vpn users, you might be able to use something like cisco IPTV or the likes. (depending on the type of video you want to provide your users)

please see the following link for video over ip for polycom:
