Lost Packet Recovery
The Lost Packet Recovery (LPR) algorithm uses Forward Error Correction (FEC) to create additional
packets that contain recovery information. These additional packets are used to reconstruct packets that are
lost, for whatever reason, during transmission. Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) is used to allocate the
bandwidth needed to transmit the additional packets.
Lost Packet Recovery Guidelines
If packet loss is detected in the packet transmissions of either the video or Content streams:
LPR is applied to both the video and Content streams.
DBA allocates bandwidth from the video stream for the insertion of additional packets containing
recovery information.
LPR is supported in H.323 and SIP networking environments only.
In LPR-enabled Continuous Presence conferences:
Both LPR-enabled and non-LPR-enabled endpoints are supported.
The LPR process is not applied to packet transmissions from non-LPR-enabled IP (H.323 and
SIP) and ISDN (Collaboration Server 1500/2000/4000) endpoints.
Non-LPR-enabled endpoints can be moved to LPR-enabled conferences.
LPR-enabled endpoints cannot be moved to non-LPR-enabled conferences.
In LPR-enabled Video Switched conferences (Collaboration Server 1500/2000/4000):
H.323 and SIP endpoints are supported.
When cascading between conferences running on Collaboration Server and MGC (Polycom
legacy MCU), LPR is not supported over the link between the two conferences.
Non-H.323 participants cannot be created, added or moved to LPR-enabled Video Switched
conferences.
When connecting via an Entry Queue:
A participant using an LPR-enabled endpoint can be moved to a non-LPR-enabled conference.
The participant is connected with LPR enabled.
SIP and ISDN/PSTN (Collaboration Server 1500/2000/4000) participants cannot be moved to
LPR-enabled Video Switched conferences.
Enabling Lost Packet Recovery
LPR is enabled or disabled in the Conference Profile dialog box.
CP Conferences – LPR is enabled by default in the New Profile – Advanced dialog box.
VSW Conferences – If Video Switching is selected, the LPR check box is automatically cleared and
LPR is disabled. LPR can be enabled for VSW conferences but H.320 and SIP participants will not
be able to connect.
