Load Balancing Behaviors in Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing

All users attend a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web conference by opening their browsers and signing in through the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conference home page. When the first meeting participant attempts to join the web conference, the Cisco MeetingPlace Agent Service determines if the meeting should be held on an internal web server or external web server by checking the Allow Internet Access parameter. This parameter is only visible if your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system has an external site or cluster configured. Table 4-1describes load-balancing behaviors for load-balancing configuration options.
