Chapter 3-SVC Conferencing System Architecture

The SVC-based conferencing system architecture diagram is divided into the following sections:

"User Plane”

"Access Plane”

"Media Plane”

"Call Control Plane”

"Management and Provisioning Plane”

User Plane

The User plane describes the various endpoints that can be deployed in the RealPresence UC Platform, which can include room and mobile endpoints, Telepresence systems, voice and audio.

In the SVC conferencing solution, only SVC-enabled endpoints such as RealPresence Desktop and RealPresence Mobile can use the SVC encoding and decoding capabilities for compressed video files.

Access Plane

The Access plane controls the flow of data from the endpoints to the media servers. The Access plane can deploy devices such as ISDN PBX, Polycom RealPresence® Access Director™, and so forth. These devices are used to control and manage information security. Firewalls can be deployed for additional security.

The Polycom® RealPresence® Access Director™ (RPAD) enables expanded firewall traversal options for secured video conferencing connectivity within the enterprise environment or with conference participants outside the enterprise firewall.
