Any changes you make to the multicast IP address ranges or
port ranges are not immediately effective on any live
streaming sessions. To force an immediate change, you
need to disable and re-enable global multicast streaming.

supports MMS over UDP or MMS over
TCP.
MMS over UDP is a low latency/ high throughput protocol,
while MMS over TCP includes extra reliability, though extra
processing power is required. Both use the streaming port,
so if a restrictive firewall is present HTTP may be necessary.

Auto negotiation attempts to open the most efficient
connection, switching protocols if unable to do so, but on
some systems this is not efficient. Cisco recommends that
you select to use UDP/TCP/HTTP rather than auto-
negotiation.

ConferenceMe can connect using either UDP or
TCP. When connecting using UDP, ConferenceMe
will have better network performance, resulting in
better video being sent to and received from the
MCU.
