Video Border Proxy Solutions

Security and Firewall Traversal

Benefits

Secure Remote Access to IP Video

Conferences

• Interoperable with all standards-based video endpoints, gatekeepers, and multipoint conferencing platforms

Simplified firewall traversal

• Video NAT and H.460 traversal

• Secure video proxy to retain network protection

Video device protection

• H.323 application-aware firewall

• Topology hiding and dynamic access control to protect video devices

Optimal video quality

• Seamless prioritization of video over data

• Media routing via the shortest possible path

• Video and voice call entry control to prevent congestion of priority traffic

• Traffic management capabilities such as priority queuing, traffic shaping, and diffserv marking/policing

Polycom Video Border Proxy (VBP™) solutions allow video conferences to securely traverse firewalls, while retaining complete network security.

Users of standards-based high definition video endpoints such as the Polycom HDX series can now remotely and securely communicate over video on enterprise or service provider networks.

By performing video NAT at the IP address boundary, Polycom VBP solutions forward video traffic via the shortest path possible to minimize jitter, delay, and packet loss. Polycom VBP solutions fully protect H.323

gatekeepers, video endpoints, and multipoint conference platforms from attack, while safeguarding video quality.

Polycom VBP series also optimize video conference quality through traffic management features such as prioritization, traffic shaping, call admission control, and diffserv marking/policing. In addition, the Polycom

VBP series enhances network security with an H.323-aware packet inspection firewall that opens and closes

TCP and UDP ports as required.

High-Quality, Highly Secure Video Conferencing

Polycom VBP secure H.323 proxies enable one public IP to serve all the video communications needs, and with availability for bandwidths from 1 Mbps to 85 Mbps, IT managers can configure the VBP series for centralized or decentralized dial plans.

Polycom VBP solutions support all standards-based video endpoints and multipoint conferencing units, such as the Polycom RMX 2000™ real-time media conferencing platform. Models with optional H.460 support for mobile users or remote locations without video-aware firewalls are also available.

Solutions for All Requirements

Polycom VBP solutions provide security and firewall traversal across a wide range of enterprise and service provider requirements, and include:

Polycom VBP E Series – Ideal for dialing video endpoints outside the network that are not registered with a gatekeeper, as may be the case with a distributed dial plan.

Polycom VBP S Series – Optimized for networks in which all endpoints are registered to a central gatekeeper.

Polycom VBP ST Series – The best choice when H.460-based traversal services are needed in conjunction with a centralized gatekeeper.

Passive Call Quality Monitoring (voice only)

• Per-call statistics include mean opinion score or MOS (average and minimum), jitter, latency, packet loss, and much more

• Alarms for poor MOS scores

Dialing Methods

• E.164, E-mail or Annex O format, IP address, IP address + extension

(inbound from the wide area network only)

Embedded Gatekeeper

• Gatekeeper neighboring support to gatekeepers in the local or wide area network (not available on S/ST models)

Deployment Models
