Description
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) enhancements
VoIP scalability
MeetingPlace 8112 systems can now scale to a maximum of 960 IP 
ports. MeetingPlace 8106 systems can scale to a maximum of 480 IP 
ports. All current MeetingPlace features, including in-session features, 
are identical. (For more information, see Chapter 3 of the Cisco 
MeetingPlace Audio Server Installation Planning Guide.) 
SIP protocol support
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an IP telephony protocol developed 
by the IETF. It is modular in nature and provides extensions for 
presence and mobility applications. In this release, MeetingPlace 
supports SIP, in addition to H.323 for IP call control. MeetingPlace can 
handle H.323 and SIP calls simultaneously, adding flexibility to 
environments that have multiple IP call controls.
