participant in the Scopia
®
XT Desktop server which is the maximum possible bandwidth for any
participant connecting to this server.
You calculate the maximum bandwidth used by Avaya Scopia
®
XT Desktop participants in the
following steps:
Procedure
1. Estimate the number of Avaya Scopia
®
XT Desktop participants connecting externally.
2. Decide on the maximum bandwidth per Scopia
®
XT Desktop Client (measured as its bitrate).
3. Calculate the peak bandwidth according to the following formula:
Peak bandwidth = peak usage x maximum bandwidth per participant
In our example of the Avaya Scopia
®
XT Desktop deployment, where the peak usage is 10
and the chosen maximum bandwidth is 768 Kbps, the peak bandwidth equals 7680 kbps.
This is the rough estimation of the bandwidth required for videoconference participants.
4. Add margins to make sure that even in poor network conditions video quality does not drop
below the standard you decided on.
Important:
An average margin is 20% of your fine-tuned estimation.

The Scopia
®
XT Desktop server is typically located in the DMZ (see
on page 15) and is therefore connected to both the enterprise and
the public networks. Scopia
®
XT Desktop Clients can be located in the internal enterprise network,
in the public network, or in a partner network.
