Adhoc/Reservationless Conference Audio Port Limits
– The number of ports specified
here sets the minimum number of audio ports that the system will guarantee are available
for reservationless and ad hoc conferences, if there is
no overbooking . This is also the
maximum number of the total audio ports that can be used for ad hoc or reservationless
conferences on this server.
Overbooking and not overbooking audio ports
If the sum of the
Scheduled Audio Port Limits
and the
Adhoc/Reservationless Audio
Port Limits
is less than or equal to the total ports on the system, the port limits are not
overbooked , and the number of ports specified in each field will definitely be available.
Advantages of not overbooking
•
Specified number of ports is guaranteed.
•
Users who reserve ports will be guaranteed access when the conference starts.
Disadvantages of not overbooking
•
Ports are locked for one type of conference (for example, scheduled conferences).
•
Ports not being used cannot be accessed by users for another type of conference (for
example, reservationless conference).
Example:
Total ports on the system = 100
Scheduled conferences = 60
Ad hoc/reservationless conferences = 40
This system is not overbooked. (60+40 <=100) If users allocated 60 ports for scheduled
conferences occurring at a specific time, it is guaranteed that those ports will be available
when the conference starts. If there are no scheduled conferences taking place at another
time (booked), and there is a need for 50 ports for reservationless conferences, only 40 of
the 50 ports can be used. This is because 60 ports are held for potential scheduled
conferences even though they are not currently in use or reserved for that time slot.
If the sum of the
Scheduled Audio Port Limits
and the
Adhoc/Reservationless Audio
Port Limits
is greater than the total ports on the system, the port limits are overbooked
and the number of ports specified in each field will not be guaranteed to be available.
