Example 2: Two sites with one class of user
Example 2 shows a scenario where different call rates are applied for calls between certain sites, where bandwidth is limited within a network managed by IBM® Sametime® Bandwidth Manager.
A second scenario considers two different sites or groups of sites. In this scenario, all users are treated uniformly, but different sites are considered to enforce different call rates within the sites or between the sites.
For example,
consider the example where administrators allow
- 384 kbps normal call rate for video calls within North America and within Europe
- 128 kbps normal call rate for video calls across the Atlantic
- For all calls, force 16 kbps audio-only calls when peak utilization bandwidth conditions exist
The required policies for the Example 2 scenario are shown in Table 1. different call rates are applied for calls between certain sites, where bandwidth is limited within a network managed by IBM Sametime Bandwidth Manager.
Order | User1 | Site1 | User2 | Site2 | Normal Call Rate | Peak Utilization Call Rate |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Any | NA | Any | NA | Video call, 384 kbps | Audio-only call, 16 kbps |
2 | Any | EMEA | Any | EMEA | Video call, 384 kbps | Audio-only call, 16 kbps |
3 | Any | EMEA | Any | NA | Video call, 128 kbps | Audio-only call, 16 kbps |
4 | Any | Any | Any | Any | Video call, 384 kbps | Audio-only call, 16 kbps |
