Chapter 12 Bandwidth Provisioning and QoS Considerations
Bandwidth Provisioning
Cisco Desktop Administrator Bandwidth Usage
The bandwidth requirements for Cisco Desktop Administrator are very small and are seen only when an
administrator is actively changing configurations. In general, the bandwidth used by Cisco Desktop
Administrator is negligible from a provisioning standpoint.

Cisco Desktop Monitoring Console Bandwidth Usage
The bandwidth requirements for the Cisco Desktop Monitoring Console are very small and short-lived.
In general, the bandwidth used by the Cisco Desktop Monitoring Console is negligible from a

Best Practices and Recommendations for Cisco Agent Desktop Service Placement
In a Unified ICM installation using Cisco Agent Desktop, all CAD services except the VoIP Monitor
service and the Recording and Playback service must coreside with the PG. You can install the VoIP
Monitor service and Recording and Playback service on other servers (off-board).
service and the Recording and Playback service must coreside with the PG. You can install the VoIP
Monitor service and Recording and Playback service on other servers (off-board).
VoIP Monitor Server
A single VoIP Monitor service supports up to 58 simultaneous silent monitoring sessions. Additional
VoIP Monitor services increase the SPAN-based monitoring capacity of the installation.

You can have a maximum of five VoIP Monitor servers in a CAD installation. Only one VoIP Monitor
service can exist on a single server.
service can exist on a single server.
The main load on a VoIP Monitor service is the amount of network traffic that is sent to the VoIP service
for the devices that are assigned to that VoIP service, not the number of simultaneous
monitoring/recording sessions. When Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) is configured to send traffic from
a device to a particular VoIP service, the VoIP services packet sniffer monitors network traffic even
without active monitoring sessions. The amount of traffic monitored limits the number of devices that
you can assign to a particular VoIP service.

If a VoIP service coresides with the CAD base services on the PG, it supports the network traffic of up
to 100 agents. You can dedicate a third NIC for SPAN destination port in this environment, although it
is not necessary.If there are more than 100 agents configured to use a single VoIP service, you must move
that service off-board to another server. A single VoIP Monitor service supports the network traffic of
400 agent phones if you use a 100 Megabit NIC to connect to the switch. A single VoIP Monitor service
supports the network traffic of 1000 agent phones if you use a Gigabit NIC to connect to the switch.

Note
If the switch does not support ingress and egress traffic on the same switch port, then you must use a
dedicated NIC to support SPAN services.

Recording and Playback Server
You can have a maximum of two Recording and Playback servers in a CAD installation. As with the
VoIP Monitor service, only one of these services can exist on a single computer.

If the Recording and Playback service coresides with CAD base services on the PG, it supports up to 32
simultaneous recording sessions. If you require more recording and playback sessions, move the
Recording and Playback service to another server. The Recording and Playback service can coexist with
an off-board VoIP Monitor service. An off-board Recording and Playback service supports up to 80
simultaneous recordings.
