Polycom Voice Video Interface Unit Product Family - V

IU
Application Aware solution that resolves the NAT/Firewall issues
The V
2
IU performs video and voice NAT at the public/private IP address bound-
ary eliminating the security risks of traversal methods that tunnel or “hide”
video and voice traffic from existing perimeter security. It allows a single
public IP address to be used for multiple private LAN VoIP and video clients
Dynamically secures video and voice devices
A stateful packet inspection firewall is used in combination with an applica-
tion layer gateway to provide comprehensive application-aware security. This
approach enables the V
2
IU to dynamically provision and close TCP and UDP
ports as needed by the video and voice endpoints.
Optimizes the quality of video and voice calls
The V
2
IU forwards video and voice traffic the shortest path possible to mini-
mize jitter, latency and packet loss. It also provides traffic management to
ensure that high priority real time video and voice traffic is processed before
lower priority data traffic.
Based on robust, telco-accepted technology
The V
2
IU enables robust use of standards-based networking security mecha-
nisms. It has been installed in the world's most demanding enterprise and
telco environments
