Video solution provides SBC-based interdomain video, VPN-based

Session Border Controller (SBC)-Based Interdomain Video
In a typical SBC use case, an organization with a video room system wants to connect one or more
participants in separate locations to their private domain. For example, an organization is holding a
conference and wants to add a conference participant located outside of the organization’s private
domain. In this example, both parties are registered through OpenScape Voice. An SBC handles the
network address translation (NAT) and connects the two parties, as shown in the following figure.

VPN-Based Interdomain Video
Remote or mobile workers in the public domain can use a virtual private network (VPN) to connect to a
private domain and participate in a conference. The benefit of using a VPN to connect is that you can use
public services and applications just as you do in the in the private domain. The following figure shows a
VPN-based interdomain video solution.
