Supporting H.323 Video and Voice in an Enterprise Network
Randal Abler and Gail Wells, Georgia Institute of Technology
Abstract
H.323 is a relatively new standard for video and voice transmission that
specifies using IP packets as the transport. This opens the possibility
of adding an inexpensive camera to a modern desktop, and allowing two
way video-conferencing between any offices so equipped. While the H.323
specification addresses LAN networks, can H.323 be used in a WAN
environment? What characteristics are necessary to support H.323 in the
LAN and WAN networks, and what is the impact of H.323 on other traffic
in the network? This paper attempts to outline the impact of running
H.323 on a network and lay out some guidelines that should be useful for
accommodating H.323 on both local and wide area networks.
