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.
1. 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.
2. Voice Signalling - for use in network topologies that require a different policy for
the voice signalling than for the voice media.
3. 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.
4. Guest Voice Signalling - for use in network topologies that require a different
policy for the guest voice signalling than for the guest voice media.
5. Softphone Voice - for use by softphone applications on typical data centric
devices, such as PCs or laptops.
6. Video Conferencing - for use by dedicated Video Conferencing equipment and
other similar appliances supporting real-time interactive video/audio services.
7. 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.
8. Video Signalling - for use in network topologies that require a separate policy for
the video signalling than for the video media.
Policy :
Policy indicates that an Endpoint Device wants to explicitly advertise that the policy
is required by the device. Can be either Defined or Unknown
Unknown: The network policy for the specified application type is currently
unknown.
Defined: The network policy is defined.
