Cisco Networking Capabilities for Medianet
Product Overview
A medianet is an end-to-end architecture for a network comprising advanced, intelligent technologies and devices in
a platform optimized for the delivery of rich-media experiences. A medianet has the following characteristics:
●
Media-aware: Can detect and optimize different media and application types (telepresence, video
surveillance, desktop collaboration, and streaming media) to deliver the best experience
●
Endpoint-aware: Automatically detects and configures media endpoints
●
Network-aware: Can detect and respond to changes in device, connection, and service availability
With the increasing adoption of new video and rich-media applications, medianet technologies become critically
important to address challenges associated with the transmission of video and rich media over the network,
including ensuring predictability, performance, quality, and security.
By accelerating deployment of applications, minimizing complexity and ongoing operational costs, and helping to
scale the infrastructure for the best quality of experience (QoE), medianet technologies help address these
challenges.
Capabilities and Benefits
Cisco
®
Networking Capabilities for Medianet extend the boundary of networks to the endpoints, creating tight
integration between intelligent network services and the rich-media applications delivered over a variety of
endpoints. Cisco endpoints are equipped with the Media Services Interface (MSI), a software component that
enables endpoints to consistently take advantage of intelligent network services. MSI helps the network to be media-
aware and media applications and endpoints to be network-aware.
Cisco Networking Capabilities for Medianet provides capabilities across a range of network and endpoint devices to
enable a medianet system to send, deliver, and optimize rich-media applications. These capabilities are enhanced
over time as the technology matures and is implemented in medianet-ready products. Cisco Networking Capabilities
2.1 for Medianet focuses on reducing IT costs and the complexity of deploying video as well as improving the video
experience. Table 1 describes the capabilities, components, benefits, and features of Cisco Networking Capabilities
2.1 for Medianet. The appendix discusses Cisco Networking Capabilities 1.0 for Medianet.
