Bright and energetic,pure and beautiful, the Microsoft colors add vibrancy to communications and are among the most recognizableand unifying elements in our visual identity. • 3+ mobile devices per user- BYOD • Unpredictable Voice, Video and UC traffic over mobile devices • Sticky clients don’t roam well
Common UC Over Wi-Fi Challenges Wired LAN Limitations Client Side Limitations Wi-Fi Limitations • High Client Diversity • BYOD Security and on-boarding • Client Roaming not optimized • Client do not support upstream tagging • RF is a limited bandwidth resource • WMM traffic prioritization depends on wired network prioritization. • No troubleshooting capabilities for Lync (multiple media types in 1 encrypted stream) • Wired network may lose traffic priority indicators • Legacy wired network may incorrectly tag traffic • UC Servers are often not configured to tag
Aruba with Lync: Heuristics or SDN API Heuristics based detection – Lync traffic is identified based on known characteristics of Lync Voice and Video. As the Lync traffic traverses the controller it is inspected and classified as either Voice or Video and the appropriate QoS settings are applied to them. (UCOIP: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/lync/gg131938 under Networking) SDN API based detection – Lync traffic is identified through the integration between the Lync Front End server and the WLAN controllers via Microsoft’s SDN API. The Lync front End server sends messages to the Aruba Controller identifying Lync traffic by type and endpoint. (UCOIP: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/lync/hh972602 under SDN)
