whitepaper When a Hurricane Prevented Travel, Executive Meetings Continued Using Multipoint IP Videoconferencing2007-12-18 Cisco Systems
  In late October 2005, disastrous weather in the southeastern United States prevented Cisco marketing executives from traveling to a conference in Florida. And yet, the executives already in Florida were able to meet with their counterparts in San Jose, California and Milan, Italy via an IP videoconference - and conducted the meeting more swiftly than they likely would have in person. This case study provides an example of the value of internal videoconferencing and explains what was required to connect an off-campus location to the Cisco intranet.

whitepaper How Cisco IT Deployed Global Web Conferencing2007-12-18 Cisco Systems
  The primary goals of this convergence included the following: Improve the voice and Web collaboration experience for all employees. Previously, voice and Web conferencing applications were separate functions. Employees had to use separate scheduling tools and other applications for each system, which often led to confusion and lost productivity. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace offers an integrated platform that addressed Cisco's conferencing challenges with many beneficial features. For example, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace combines IP-based voice and Web conferencing and can integrate video telephony calls via the Cisco Unified Video Advantage product. Cisco IT made the decision to replace the existing mix of conferencing systems with a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace solution.

whitepaper Network Monitoring for Video Quality Over IP2007-12-01 AT&T Knowledge Ventures
  This paper considers the problem of predicting application-level video quality based on monitoring video packets within the network. The goal is to detect impairments (either server- or network-induced) that will affect the quality of the video displayed to the viewer. The paper presents a framework for in-network video quality degradation monitoring, and describe the information that can be extracted by processing the observed packets at different depths. For the popular Windows Media streaming format, it presents techniques to estimate video quality degradations based on examining information at the IP, TCP and application-layers. It demonstrates the potential of the methods using IP traffic observed at a broadband head-end over a one-week period.
