1 Cisco TelePresence in the R&E Community Mike LaHaye Internet2 Internet2 SMM 2010

2 Cisco TelePresence Main values: quality, reliability, simplicity (Generally) aimed at conference room / board room meelngs and not classroom spaces Not H.323 based and requires Cisco Call Manager integralon for signaling Supports point to point and mullpoint calls Capable of MS Exchange integralon for directory, scheduling, and one buton to push dialing

3 Cisco TelePresence in R&E TelePresence nodes donated by Cisco to several campuses and connected to AT&T Cisco TelePresence Exchange established by NLR Islands of TelePresence deployed on campuses and regional networks MulLple requests from Internet2 members for support of the service MOU signed with NLR in January 2010

4 Internet2 NLR MOU Present a unified service offering for the R&E community the R&E Cisco TelePresence Exchange Work closely with Cisco and one another on a Cisco TelePresence strategy Leverage the strengths and accomplishments of each organizalon to make Cisco TelePresence more widely available to the R&E Community Jointly engage commercial TelePresence service providers, including AT&T and Cisco Focused on Cisco TelePresence, but intended to be interoperable with other forms of videoconferencing

5 R&E Cisco TelePresence Exchange NLR operates the R&E Cisco TelePresence Exchange. R&E sites may reach each other through this Exchange. Consists of a Session Border Controller (SBC) and mullpoint switch and other supporlng equipment Sites establish SIP adjacencies to the SBC Signal and media flow to/from the SBC (determinislc path) ApplicaLon peering through the SBC provides reachability between Internet2 and NLR parlcipants

6 Proof of concept demonstralon A Harvard and Peking University conference occurred in January under this arrangement Peking University previously connected by NLR to the R&E TelePresence Exchange Harvard is connected to Internet2 only Limited peering for TelePresence established between Internet2 and NLR

7 Who does it apply to? Who can use it? Internet2 and NLR will each set their own terms and fees for accessing the service Baseline for NLR members and its peers Internet2 doing analysis to ensure long term viability for members Service will be available to at least Internet2/NLR members Currently conneclng all interested members and peers ConLnue to analyze costs and demand to ensure long term viability for members Some features may require addilonal fees gateway conneclons to commercial CTS Exchanges

13 How do I get started? OperaLon of Cisco TelePresence over R&E networks is a Cisco approved praclce Endpoints are purchased through a Cisco ATP Cisco TelePresence CerLficaLon Room CerLficaLon Network Path Assessment Equipment installalon by ATP Allocate phone numbers for endpoints ConfiguraLon of Call Manager and CUBE Local teslng with mullple endpoints SIP trunk to the R&E Exchange

14 Challenges How to find other users How to reach other users, anywhere making the experience more nearly seamless How to interconnect islands Dial plans, esp. for internalonal uses H.323 interop Inter exchange Commercial exchanges InternaLonal R&E Exchanges Scaling 14
