Example 4: Two sites with two classes of users
Example 4 combines two different sites with two different classes of users within a network managed by IBM® Sametime® Bandwidth Manager.
- Calls within the US and within Europe are allowed to use 384 kbps for video
- Calls between the US and Europe are limited to 256 kbps for video
- All VIP-to-VIP video calls use 384 kbps
- All VIPs continue to place calls as normal when peak utilization bandwidth conditions exist
- All other users will use audio-only when peak utilization bandwidth conditions exist
Order | User1 | Site1 | User2 | Site2 | Normal Call Rate | Peak Utilization Call Rate |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | VIP | Any | VIP | Any | Video call, 384 kbps | Video call, 384 kbps |
2 | Any | EMEA | Any | US | Video call, 256 kbps | Audio-only call, 16 kbps |
3 | Any | Any | Any | Any | Video call, 384 kbps | Audio-only call, 16 kbps |
Scenario 2 has the following business objectives:
- All video calls within Europe or within the US that involve VIPs are allowed to run at 384 kbps
- All other video calls within those regions, US and Europe, are limited to 256 kbps
- Between the regions, VIP-to-VIP video calls are allowed to run at 256 kbps
- Between regions, all other video calls are limited to 192 kbps
- All VIPs continue to place calls as normal when peak utilization bandwidth conditions exist
- All other users will use audio-only when peak utilization bandwidth conditions exist
Order | User1 | Site1 | User2 | Site2 | Normal Call Rate | Peak Utilization Call Rate |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | VIP | US | VIP | EMEA | Video call, 256 kbps | Video call, 256 kbps |
2 | VIP | Any | Any | Any | Video call, 384 kbps | Video call, 384 kbps |
3 | Any | US | Any | EMEA | Video call, 192 kbps | Audio-only call, 16 kbps |
4 | Any | Any | Any | Any | Video call, 256 kbps | Audio-only call, 16 kbps |
