Media Resource

General

  • CUCM selects an audio or video conference bridge from the MRGL of the conference initiator
  • When a media resource is involved, there is no direct RTP communication between the two IP phones
  • By default, all media resources are placed in the null MRG
    • Usage of hardware resource is preferred over software
    • Media resource usage is load balanced.
