How often do you hear that the business is discussing moving mail platforms because “our users want X” where X is nothing to do with the server and everything to do with the client UI. Domino remains the best mail server available but often user dissatisfaction drives a move and that comes from being asked to use the wrong client or from a bad deployment. If you’re using Domino you have an ever expanding range of clients to choose from browsers, iNotes, Verse, Traveler with iOS integration, Android applications, POP3 and IMAP. Come to this session to learn how to find the right client to fit the business and keep your Domino infrastructure.

Video production in the cloud for live streamingPaul Richards
Isn’t it incredible when when we can see technology trends repeat themselves in a matter a few years? It feels like Cisco just put the final nail in the video conferencing codec coffin a few months ago, officially ended by the stellar growth in cloud based video meeting software. Just last week in Season 2, Episode 5 of our live streaming show we interviewed what I believe to be the very first cloud based video production software built for the live streaming market. As many of us are aware the shift to the cloud has meant major change and opportunity for businesses around the world. In this article, I will review and predict what the next generation of live streaming software in the cloud has to offer.
It’s amazing what can be done in the cloud these days! In our December 2nd live show I interviewed, Philippe Laurent, CEO of EasyLive. Laurent has finally brought video production into the ever powerful cloud with the new EasyLive SaaS platform! Built from the ground up as a cloud based application EasyLive allows teams from around the world to easily access the same live video production interface. The full YouTube live interview is embedded below (you can skip to minute 7 to watch the live demo only).
Sametime 8.5 Media Manager consists of three server components: the SIP Proxy/Registrar, Conference Manager, and Packet Switcher. The SIP Proxy handles call routing and registration. The Conference Manager manages conferences. The Packet Switcher routes audio and video streams. It is recommended to install these in a primary node configuration with the System Console as the deployment manager for centralized administration. Planning the installation includes considerations for hardware requirements, ports, clustering, and network topology.
Video conferencing allows multiple sites to connect for meetings and events through high-quality video and audio transmission. Bell offers various video conferencing solutions and services to suit different needs, including basic options for routine meetings or enhanced services for important conferences. Expert staff manage all aspects of video conferences end-to-end. Comprehensive reports are available after to analyze utilization and costs.
The document provides system requirements for InMotion Web Conferencing software. The host and presenter software requires Internet Explorer 5.0 or later and there are no other client applications needed. The server requires Windows 2000 or later, 1.2GHz processor, 256MB RAM, and port 80 available. All users need IP access to the server and the server needs a static IP address. Bandwidth needs vary depending on the features used, with video conferencing requiring the most bandwidth at 256kbps.

Superpower Your Apache Kafka Applications Development with Complementary Open...Paul Brebner
Kafka Summit talk (Bangalore, India, May 2, 2024, https://events.bizzabo.com/573863/agenda/session/1300469 )
Many Apache Kafka use cases take advantage of Kafka’s ability to integrate multiple heterogeneous systems for stream processing and real-time machine learning scenarios. But Kafka also exists in a rich ecosystem of related but complementary stream processing technologies and tools, particularly from the open-source community. In this talk, we’ll take you on a tour of a selection of complementary tools that can make Kafka even more powerful. We’ll focus on tools for stream processing and querying, streaming machine learning, stream visibility and observation, stream meta-data, stream visualisation, stream development including testing and the use of Generative AI and LLMs, and stream performance and scalability. By the end you will have a good idea of the types of Kafka “superhero” tools that exist, which are my favourites (and what superpowers they have), and how they combine to save your Kafka applications development universe from swamploads of data stagnation monsters!
Why Apache Kafka Clusters Are Like Galaxies (And Other Cosmic Kafka Quandarie...Paul Brebner
Closing talk for the Performance Engineering track at Community Over Code EU (Bratislava, Slovakia, June 5 2024) https://eu.communityovercode.org/sessions/2024/why-apache-kafka-clusters-are-like-galaxies-and-other-cosmic-kafka-quandaries-explored/ Instaclustr (now part of NetApp) manages 100s of Apache Kafka clusters of many different sizes, for a variety of use cases and customers. For the last 7 years I’ve been focused outwardly on exploring Kafka application development challenges, but recently I decided to look inward and see what I could discover about the performance, scalability and resource characteristics of the Kafka clusters themselves. Using a suite of Performance Engineering techniques, I will reveal some surprising discoveries about cosmic Kafka mysteries in our data centres, related to: cluster sizes and distribution (using Zipf’s Law), horizontal vs. vertical scalability, and predicting Kafka performance using metrics, modelling and regression techniques. These insights are relevant to Kafka developers and operators.

4. SIP Proxy Registrar
❖ Is responsible for maintaining the registry for each client and
any conferences
❖ If the client can’t find the Proxy Registrar to register then
their voice and video preferences won’t be available
❖ When registering, the client also transmits their ip:port
combination. This is different than their SDP*
❖ When initiating any call the client sends their SDP* which
contains information about their location, hardware and
request
*what’s a SDP Gab?
5. Session Description Protocol
❖ A message format for multimedia communications
❖ A SDP contains information from the client such as
❖ session information. who I am and where to locate me
❖ media information. what type of media do I want to communicate with
on this session
❖ The Proxy Registrar receives a SDP from a client wanting to initiate a
session
❖ It is aware of the status of the person that client wants to talk to and will
forward the request to them
❖ The invitee responds with their own SDP and a negotiation ensues
❖ Once established the traffic is routed outside of the Proxy Registrar
6. Proxy Registrar
Gab
Proxy Registrar
gab registers details for SIP
availablity so the PR knows who is
available and where they are

negotiating an audio or
video call PR sends a SIP message to
Alan notifying him of an
awaiting call
Alan
alan responds to the PR
with his own SDP
post negotiation of SDPs
Gab and Alan initiate a peer

7. Conference Manager
❖ Establishes the SIP session for each client and monitors the audio and video state
❖ This applies to all calls including multiway and point to point
❖ The Conference Manager is instructed by the Community server to create the
SIP session
❖ The Proxy Registrar forwards the SIP messages
❖ The Proxy Registrar server receives the client requests for a SIP session and
forwards those to the Conference Manager
❖ With multiway calls all video traffic is sent via the VMCU
❖ The Conference Manager does not route audio and video traffic
❖ *sometimes referred to as the Conference Focus

9. Combined PR+CF
❖ One deployment scenario is a combined server that
contains both Proxy Registrar and Conference Manager
functionality
❖ The single server installs with both applications
❖ Deploying as a combined server doesn’t affect the
behaviour of each of the applications
❖ It does however prevent you from clustering
11. Video Manager
❖ Manages how traffic will be distributed across the VMCUs
❖ Is aware of defined media rules and will enforce scaling on audio
and video traffic
❖ Uses routing rules to determine which VMCU the traffic should
route through
❖ Cannot be clustered
❖ Creates Conference/Meeting rooms according to a template
❖ Requires a dedicated Linux server
❖ With a Video Manager offline the Conference Manager will see it as
unavailable and only peer to peer calls will be available

13. Video MCU
❖ Routes all audio and video traffic for any conference involving
more than two people
❖ Requires a dedicated Linux server
❖ Cannot be clustered but multiple instances can have a load
balancer to route traffic
❖ It that scenario, regardless of routing rules, everyone is
routed to the VMCU of the call owner
❖ The VMCU ensures the correct audio and video stream is
delivered to each client according to the client request and the
Video Manager rules

15. SIP Edge Proxy
❖ Takes the Proxy Registrar role in architecture that requires
external or multi network access
❖ The SIP Edge Proxy is placed in the DMZ to accept
requests from clients for SIP registration and forward those
to the internal Proxy Registrar
❖ The public DNS name for the SIP Edge Proxy must match
that of the internal Proxy Registrar
❖ Often we deploy split horizon DNS to handle that
configuration
16. TURN Server
❖ For clients that have a NAT address that prevent peer to
peer communication
❖ Clients that are on another network than the Media Server
elements and present as a different IP than their source one
will need access to a TURN server
❖ TURN acts as a relay for audio and video traffic both
inbound and outbound
❖ If the TURN is in the DMZ then traffic between it and the
VMCU must be open

20. Standalone Client
❖ The Community server tells the standalone client where the
Proxy Registrar is
❖ The client can only register with the PR if they have active
hardware
❖ If not the options are greyed out
❖ Since the Community server will always advertise the name
for the PR - that name must resolve externally as well
❖ Set the TURN DNS entry to 0.0.0.0 internally if clients have
direct access to the VMCU ensures they do connect directly
21. Rich Client
❖ The details of the SIP Proxy Registrar are supplied to the client by the Community
Server
❖ The Conference Manager talks to the Meeting Server to initiate a session for the
meeting and for everyone in it
❖ Watching or listening to a session still requires a SIP session be established
❖ Audio and Video streams are sent via the Conference Manager integrated with the
Meeting server
❖ Using the Meeting client is a good way of initially testing your architecture is working
❖ Single sign on tokens must exist between your Meeting server and Community server
❖ To create and store a token to pass between servers set the client preferences to
remember the clients password
22. Web Meetings
❖ In a browser based meeting the audio / video
WebPlayer plugins must be installed
❖ The plugins create the registration from the browser
with the SIP Proxy Registrar
❖ Traffic is routed through the Meeting Server and via the
web plugins
23. Mobile
❖ On a mobile client audio video activity behaves as if you
are in a web meeting
❖ The Sametime proxy server provides the service to route
traffic
❖ The Sametime applications register via the Sametime proxy
server and route audio and video traffic the same way
❖ The Sametime proxy server and meeting server handle the
routing with the VMCU
25. Building AV - Internal
❖ Plan your architecture carefully
❖ There is a specific install order and a specific order in
which deployment plans must be created
❖ Some elements can be clustered, some cannot
❖ The ones that cannot can be separate installs behind a
load balancer
❖ if you might want to cluster the SIP Proxy Registrar in
the future do not install a combined PR+CF
26. Install Order
❖ Many of the elements have dependencies on each other
❖ You can’t created a deployment plan for a Video Manager
for instance until one exists for a SIP Proxy Registrar
❖ This applies to primary nodes. Secondary nodes can
always be added later
❖ The Conference Manager must be installed after the Video
Manager
❖ If installing a combined PR+CF you therefore must create
the deployment for, and install, the Video Manager first
27. Creating Deployment Plans
❖ If you are installing separate SIP Proxy Registrar and Conference Manager
1. SIP Proxy/Registrar
2. Video Manager
3. Conference Manager
4. Video MCU
❖ If you are installing a combined PR+CF
1. Video Manager
2. Combined SIP Proxy/Registrar and Conference Manager ("PR+CF" option)
3. Video MCU
You must install the servers in the same sequence
that you created the deployment plans.
28. Clustering
❖ Not all elements can be clustered
❖ Those that can are able to have secondary nodes added at any time to
aid capacity
❖ If an element can’t be clustered it can still exist in multiple instances
fronted by a load balancer

29. Building AV For External Users
❖ Consider the bandwidth requirements and the location of
your users
❖ since audio and video generate the most traffic and those
come via the VMCU, geographically located VMCUs
may be helpful
❖ Plan for site rules via the Video Manager to set routing
and compression
❖ Introduce a bandwidth manager for more granular
control over network traffic
30. External Access
❖ The architecture for internal vs external Sametime
communications is essentially Internal ++
❖ The design of your internal architecture is the same
regardless of whether you want to grant external access
❖ Consider that users may work both internally and
externally and their configuration with the FQHNs to find
servers will not change
❖ Using internal only domains for server identities can be
problematic especially if you want to configure SSO or
shared certificates
31. Video Manager Configuration
❖ Configuration for the Video Manager is read by the Websphere server
from a soliddb database on the linux file system
❖ The soliddb instance must be started before the WebSphere server or
the configuration will to be read
❖ To verify the soliddb database server is listening on the Video Manager
❖ netstat -tulvn |grep “2315”
❖ When using multiple Video Managers you will want to replicate the
configuration held in the soliddb
❖ There are scripts supplied that enable you to do that
32. Video Manager Settings
❖ Configuring the site topology allows you to set up routing rules
for clients
❖ The Video Manager installs with a default territory - this
cannot be changed or added to
❖ Configuring the VMCU allows you to set up rules for codecs and
traffic
36. DMZ Elements
❖ External users must be able to
❖ Connect to a Community Server
❖ you can add a MUX in the DMZ
❖ or use a HTTP proxy for web clients
❖ Register with the SIP Proxy Registrar
❖ You can add a SIP Edge Proxy in the DMZ
❖ Send and receive audio and video traffic
❖ a TURN server will provide relaying of that traffic and NAT
traversal
37. Firewall Rules
❖ From outside the firewall the client must be able to reach
❖ The SIP Proxy Registrar or SIP Edge Proxy usually on ports 5060 / 5061
❖ The SIP Edge Proxy must then be able to route that traffic to the
internal SIP Proxy Registrar
❖ The Community Server or Community MUX on port 1533
❖ A HTTP Proxy that can forward access to internal Sametime Proxy or
Meeting servers
❖ UDP or TCP port 3478 on the TURN server
❖ The TURN must be able to route UDP traffic for ports 49152 - 65535 to
the VMCU
38. HTTP Connect
❖ HTTP Connect functionality is new with Sametime 9.0.1
❖ It allows for audio and video communication over port 443
when in web meetings
❖ It is used by the WebPlayer browser plugins
❖ It is not possible to tunnel audio and video traffic from the
Sametime standalone or embedded client
❖ To enable HTTP Connect you must manually change the ports
used by the SIP_ProxyRegHost on the SIP Proxy Registrar and
the TURN server http://ibm.co/1ZfZdrT
40. TCP vs UDP
❖ UDP is an alternate protocol to TCP
❖ It’s a fire and forget traffic with no mechanism for confirmation of
delivery
❖ For that reason it’s more efficient but less reliable
❖ Used a lot in high volume data transmissions like audio and video
where dropped packets are manageable
❖ UDP is an option for VMCU and TURN communications that you
should used where possible
“I would tell you a joke about UDP but you
probably wouldn’t get it”
41. No Audio / Video Options
❖ If the client cannot register
with the SIP Proxy
Registrar successfully the
Voice and Video page will
be blank
❖ A blank page in your
preferences usually means
something has gone wrong
with access to your AV
architecture
❖ Or you just don’t have a
camera or mic enabled :-)
42. Verifying the Video Manager
❖ The Video Manager installs as a standalone WebSphere server outside
of the SSC cell
❖ To review the Video Manager’s WebSphere settings go to http://
<videomanagerhostname>:9060/ibm/console
❖ To review the status of the Video Manager , what sessions it’s managing
and if it can talk to the VMCU go to its management interface
❖ http://<videomanagerhostname>:8443/dma7000
❖ This is the polycom admin interface that you should rarely need
to use unless investigating a problem
❖ The default username and password is “admin” : “admin”
43. Verifying The VMCU
❖ service soft_mcu status
❖ 0 = service is running
❖ 3 = service is not running
❖ 4 = service is unavailable
❖ 5 = service has startup issues
44. TURN Server Logs
❖ Configured in logging.properties in the TURN application
directory
❖ Log files TURNServerx.log.x etc
45. SSL Certificates
❖ When using SSL throughout your deployment you should
ensure to get a certificate from a known CA
❖ The Video Manager and SSC Cell must exchange certificates
so that the servers in the SSC cell are able to talk to the Video
Manager and vice versa
❖ Certificates that can’t recognise each other or that
continually prompt the user in the client to accept them can
cause enormous invisible problems
I like to buy a wildcard for my entire domain
and use that for all servers
46. What Breaks What?
❖ Audio and Video need a working Community server
❖ The VMCU can’t operate without the Video Manager
❖ The Conference Manager can’t initiate n-way sessions if the Video
Manager isn’t available
❖ No SIP traffic can be sent to the clients and clients cannot register for
SIP communications if the SIP Proxy Registrar isn’t accessible
❖ The Video Manager reads its configuration from the soliddb database
when it loads so soliddb must be running first
❖ The TURN server isn’t a background service and if it stops running
audio and video traffic can’t be sent to clients not on the server network
