Region Configuration in Cisco Unified CallManager

This section provides an overview of how regions were configured in the Very Large Campus Clustering over the WAN deployment model. These configurations were made in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration.

For additional information about regions, refer to IP Video Telephony Solution Reference Network Design (SRND) for Cisco Unified CallManager. (Table 12-1provides a link to this document.)

The total bitrate for the video bandwidth of the region should be set to accommodate the total bitrate of the video and audio RTP streams used in video calls.

Table 12-19shows the regions matrix that was created in Cisco Unified CallManager.
