In our latest Network Design Manual chapter on videoconferencing and multimedia delivery, Dave Brown discusses two-way videoconferencing, interactive training, collaboration tools, and video streaming. Taking a bottom-up approach to the subject, Brown first discusses the technologies that underlie videoconferencing, including H.323, H.320 and H.261 and H.263. He then goes on to differentiate codec algorithms, finishing up with a complete look at how to build a videoconferencing system with minimal network impact.

Below you will find our complete guide to the intricacies of videoconferencing and multimedia delivery.
