Re: IP Videoconferencing

[Charlie Prothero <Charlie.Prothero () KEYSTONE EDU>]

Another thing to think about is bandwidth.  Our Tandberg VC system works
ok at 384K, but can be set for 760K.  As a small college, we don't have
a very large Internet pipe (2 T1's), so a videoconference trying to push
760K might be problematic...

Subject: [SECURITY] IP Videoconferencing

We have a request from our Instructional Technology group to allow
access through our firewall for a new IP videoconferencing unit.
Allowing this through the firewall seems to be relatively low risk and I
think our firewalls may even be "H.323 aware" which would make this a
little easier to do and perhaps more secure. I am assuming that the
videoconferencing hardware and software take care of other security like
authentication, encryption, etc. 

Is there anything specific I should be worried about with this setup? I
don't know much about the protocols or products involved so any advice
would be appreciated. Thanks.
