VBR-NRT values for Polycom RMX Videoconference H264 High Profile

YanL
Level 1
Level 1

Hello, we have HQ with 5 remote sites and videoconference on our old Polycom videoconference bridge worked fine. The new RMX Polycom videoconference bridge sends bursts up to 80% of it's configured bandwidth and it's creating video issues (blocks on the TV screen).

The new Polycom bridge is configured to do HD using H264 high profile @ 512 kilobits per seconds.

What is the uptimum VBR-NRT values for videoconferencing? Our WAN provider is suggesting vbr-nrt 2442 2442 1 but that does not seem right for a T1.

CURRENT: vbr-nrt 1792 1792 1

TEST: vbr-nrt 1792 1692 100 (IT'S BETTER BUT STILL NOT ACCEPTABLE)

If your video improved when you set a lower SCR, I would suspect the ATM PVC is overrunning the frame-relay T1.  Once again set PCR and SCR to same values, but try other lower values (perhaps in 50K increments).  Unfortunately as ATM overhead varies per packet, there's no 1:1 conversion.

What you can also try is reducing hardware FIFO queues, both on the ATM and frame-relay interfaces.  Set smaller or minimum tx-ring-limits.

Also on the frame-relay size, don't muck with CIR shaping; just use full interface bandwidth.  (If CIR is a real issue, increase it so it isn't.)

Are you seeing any drops on your LLQ?  If so, try increasing its bandwidth allocation.
