I am putting together a IP/VC solution for 1500 users at 2 sites right now.
How many users do you have at the sites, then you can estimate bandwitch
requirements. From Cisco's webpage, you will need the 3660 (or others) to
run Multimedia Conference Manager, one at each site. I hit our Cisco rep
today with some very detailed questions, and he had to check with his in
house experts...

Good luck!
We looked into the same type of thing, but it seems right now the best
option
for video is ISDN :-)

Subject: Video conferencing over IP question
We are building a Frame Relay network from scratch. We have 2 main offices
and around 8 remote offices. For equipment the four main offices will have
3640s and the 4 remote offices will have 2620s. Two of the main offices will
100 + users while the other two will have 25 + users. The remaining remote
offices will have 5-10 users. We currently run 3 ISDN lines into each office
for video conferencing and the phone bills are quite expensive.
We are looking into running video conferencing over the Frame network and my
question concerns what switch I should install in the offices. Right now I
am looking at the 3548 XL at two of the main offices with 2924 XL switches
for the rest of the offices. If video conferencing over IP becomes a reality
in 6 months I was thinking about adding a 5000 series switch at the main
site to have a core/distribution layer with the 3548 XLs serving as the
access layer. I am concerned about the 2924 XLs in the four remote offices.
Should I look into the 3524 XL series for the remote offices to be able to
handle the video conferencing traffic?
Thanks,
Jeff
