Internet Protocol


IP connections do not have the same limitations as circuit switched technology; therefore, each IP circuit has the same characteristics defined to it. All IP systems (with the exception of the Desktop ViTS Appliance) have the ability to connect up to 2 Mbps; however, NISN has limited the majority of these connections to 384 Kbps to ensure call quality and network loading are optimized for all NISN video traffic. As required, select NASA sites may be configured for the maximum data rate. Note:

Regardless of interface type, all Multipoint conference calls are limited to a maximum of 768Kbps. Note:

All IP Videoconferencing Service implementations are required to adhere to all NASA and NISN IT security policies and procedures.
