Keep in mind that the examples given here discuss only a single point-to-point call. Your capacity planning calculations must take into account the total number of calls that you expect the network to handle at one time, including multipoint calls. In addition, you will need to factor in the requirements for any other traffic that the network must handle.

For detailed information about capacity planning, please refer to the Polycom white paper, H.323 Bandwidth Considerations, available at www.polycom.com.

Call Processing Considerations

After documenting your network topology, you will need to define:

Call processing architecture

Gatekeeper identifier

Default gatekeeper

Call routing mode

Defining the call processing architecture is outside the scope of this document. Please refer to the PathNavigator Deployment Guide in the Documentation section at www.polycom.com for detailed information on this topic.
