SURFNET EXPERTISECENTRUM
MM Conferencing Infrastructure• Paradoxical movements in education
– collective --> individual– knowledge-intensive --> communication-
intensive
=> Tele-education
• Pilot: Open Education Environment
• Middleware components…..

SURFNET EXPERTISECENTRUM
Why IP-telephony?• Universities: high bandwidths, bad equipment
• Students at home: low bandwidths, good equipment
=> common denominator is low bandwidth, bad equipment
• (Limited) technical improvements• Easy transition to richer communication means
• Everybody has a phone

The test
![Page 8: SURF NET E XPERTISE C ENTRUM IP-telephony in research networks: the big picture Klaas Wierenga SURFnet ExpertiseCentrum bv june 1999 klaas.wierenga@sec.nl](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022082614/5697bf731a28abf838c7f144/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SURFNET EXPERTISECENTRUM
Components• Gateways
– Cisco– Radvision– Lucent– Clarent
• Gatekeepers– Ericsson– Radvision– Selsius (Cisco)– Clarent
• Terminals– Netmeeting, Vcon, Selsius (Cisco) phone

SURFNET EXPERTISECENTRUM
Test items (1)
• QoS guarantees
• Delay (<200 ms)
• Jitter
• Networkload
• Authentication, authorisation
• Management

SURFNET EXPERTISECENTRUM
Test items (2)• “MOS” (Mean Opinion Score)
– call setup (< 4 sec)– stability (0% disconnects)– completion (> 95%)– audio quality– echo
• Scalability
• Interoperability of gateways and gatekeepers!!!!
• Interfacing with PBX
![Page 11: SURF NET E XPERTISE C ENTRUM IP-telephony in research networks: the big picture Klaas Wierenga SURFnet ExpertiseCentrum bv june 1999 klaas.wierenga@sec.nl](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022082614/5697bf731a28abf838c7f144/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SURFNET EXPERTISECENTRUM
Initial results (1)
• Interfacing with PBXs very bad
• Interoperability gateways reasonable
• Interoperability gatekeepers bad
• Delay and jitter over SURFnet
dominated by codec and terminal

SURFNET EXPERTISECENTRUM
Initial results (2)• Authentication and authorisation still suboptimal
• Quality of speech can be good
• Integration with other applications is good
• NRN shouldn’t operate gateways?

GigaPort
‘Speed provides the one genuinely modern pleasure’
Aldous Huxley
• Access networks• Backbone• QoS• Generic Services• Communication Applications

SURFNET EXPERTISECENTRUM
Conclusion
• Integration with other applications
instead of ‘cheap minutes’
• NRNs should concentrate on the infrastructural part of IP-telephony
• Interoperability is key factor for
NRNs
