The bit rate (in bits per second) that the MCU

This value might be less than the Channel bit rate

has requested that the remote endpoint sends.

if:

The most-recently measured actual bit rate

 

displays in parentheses.

the MCU detects that the network

 

path to the remote endpoint has

 

insufficient capacity to maintain a

 

higher traffic rate

 

that endpoint's video stream's position

 

in the active conference compositions

 

does not require it

 

it has been necessary to reduce the

 

video bit rate because of the overall

 

call bit rate; the audio bit rate plus the

 

video bit rate should not exceed the

 

call bit rate

 

For example, if all participants in the

 

conference were watching a single participant at

 

full screen, no other participants' video streams

 

would be needed at all. So the MCU would

 

request that those streams were sent at a low

 

bit rate in order to avoid needless use of

 

network bandwidth.

 

If the receive bit rate has been limited to below

 

the maximum channel bit rate, the reason for

 

this limitation can be seen by moving over the

Represents the variation in video packet at

 

arrival time at the MCU.

 

 

 

The number of video packets destined for the

 

MCU from this endpoint

 

 

 

Video packet-level errors such as sequence

This value does not represent packets in which

the actual video data in the packets is in error.

on. This is not the same as packets where the

 

content (the actual video data) is somehow in

 

error.

 

 

 

The frame rate of the video stream currently

 

being received from the endpoint.

 

 

 

The number of frames with errors versus the

 

total number of video frames received.

 

 

 

The codec, size and type of video being sent

 

from the MCU to the endpoint.

 

 

 

The IP address and port of the device to which

 

the MCU is sending video.
