Class of Service

Class of service is a way to determine the priority of a device in a point to point call or the priority of the devices connected to a VMR (conference room), from bronze (lowest priority) to gold (highest priority).

The class of service of a user or group determines the class of service of an associated device. The class of service of a device determines the priority of that device’s point to point call. Devices connected to a conference room inherit the class of service of the conference room for the duration of the call.

For example, if your device is assigned a bronze class of service and you attempt to dial a point to point call using a RealPresence DMA system saturated with gold- and silver-level conferences, the RealPresence DMA system will reject your call. However, if you use a device with a gold class of service to dial the same point to point call using the same RealPresence DMA system, the RealPresence DMA system will disconnect one of the silver-level devices to make room for your device.

Note: Class of service scope

The Default maximum bit rate and Default minimum downspeed bit rate are the default values for point-to-point calls as well as conference (VMR) calls. The class of service of the device applies to point to point calls. VMR calls use the class of service of the conference room.
