Cisco Unified Communications System Architecture 76

The capital capacity covered in this affiliate are the following:

■ The Cisco Unified Communications System Architecture absolutely integrates communications

by enabling data, voice, and video to be transmitted over a distinct network

infrastructure application standards-based IP.

■ VoIP is the ancestors of technologies that allows IP networks to be acclimated for articulation applications,

such as telephony, articulation burning messaging, and teleconferencing.

■ VoIP uses H.323, MGCP, SIP, and SCCP alarm signaling and alarm ascendancy protocols.

■ Signaling agreement models accommodate peer-to-peer and client/server categories of

protocols.

■ Configuring articulation in a abstracts arrangement requires arrangement casework with low delay, minimal

jitter, and basal packet loss.

■ The absolute articulation conversations are transported beyond the manual media using

RTP and added RTP-related protocols.

■ Gateways affix IP Communications networks to acceptable telephony networks.

■ Several types of articulation gateways accommodated all kinds of chump needs, from baby enterprises

to ample account provider networks.

■ Supported Cisco IP telephony deployment models are distinct site, multisite with centralized

call processing, multisite with broadcast alarm processing, and clustering

over the IP WAN.

■ In the single-site deployment model, the Cisco UCM applications and the DSP

resources are at the aforementioned concrete location. The PSTN handles all alien calls.

■ The multisite centralized archetypal has a distinct call-processing agent. Applications and

DSP assets are centralized or distributed, and the IP WAN carries articulation traffic

and alarm ascendancy signaling amid sites.

■ The multisite broadcast archetypal has assorted absolute sites, anniversary with a callprocessing

agent, and the IP WAN carries articulation cartage amid sites but not call

control signaling.

■ Clustering over an IP WAN provides axial administration, a unified punch plan, feature

extension to all offices, and abutment for added alien phones during failover, but

places austere adjournment and bandwidth requirements on the WAN.
