• Application Type 
Application Type indicating the primary function of the 
application(s) defined for this network policy, advertised by an 
Endpoint or Network Connectivity Device. The possible 
application types are shown below. 
Voice - for use by dedicated IP Telephony handsets and other 
similar appliances supporting interactive voice services. These 
devices are typically deployed on a separate VLAN for ease of 
deployment and enhanced security by isolation from data 
applications. 
Voice Signaling - for use in network topologies that require a 
different policy for the voice signaling than for the voice media. 
Guest Voice - to support a separate limited feature-set voice 
service for guest users and visitors with their own IP Telephony 
handsets and other similar appliances supporting interactive 
voice services. 
Guest Voice Signaling - for use in network topologies that require 
a different policy for the guest voice signaling than for the guest 
voice media. 
Softphone Voice - for use by softphone applications on typical 
data centric devices, such as PCs or laptops. 
Video Conferencing - for use by dedicated Video Conferencing 
equipment and other similar appliances supporting real-time 
interactive video/audio services. 
Streaming Video - for use by broadcast or multicast based video 
content distribution and other similar applications supporting 
streaming video services that require specific network policy 
treatment. Video applications relying on TCP with buffering 
would not be an intended use of this application type. 
Video Signaling - for use in network topologies that require a 
separate policy for the video signaling than for the video media.
