HiPath 5000 System Overview
Server Networking
3.4.2 IP Network and Application Server Requirements
3.4.2.1 Adequate Connection Bandwidth
The customer network must fulfill the following requirements to ensure that voice information is
transmitted successfully via LAN:
● Switched LAN with 10/100 Mbps
● Fixed IP addresses
● Each component must have its own port at the switch (no HUBs as concentrators)
● Pure Microsoft TCP/IP network (not a Novell network with SPX)
● QoS, ToS and DiffServe (see below)
Although use in shared environments is possible, it is neither approved nor recommended, as
there is no guarantee of quality. The HiPath server can also be operated in networks with rout-
ing components
3.4.2.2 Bandwidth
The bandwidth for voice must be available in the network at all times. For this reason, network
measurement and analysis is carried out before installing the components.
Why Measure the Network?
The following data is required to calculate the required bandwidth for voice transmission in an
IP network in relation to the number of simultaneous connections:
Bandwidth for voice information
All values refer to the lowest packet assembly level. The bandwidths in the WAN are only valid
if the multilink and segmenting parameters have not been set.

All values refer to the lowest packet assembling level for HG 1500 V2
HG 1500 V3 values may differ on account of this version’s enhanced functions.
See HG 1500 V3 release note.

Because of the data traffic between the HiPath DB server components and the serv-
er, routing connections are always open (no short-hold in the WAN).
Type Bandwidth for each connection (full duplex)

Voice with ITU G.711 50 Kbps in LAN
Voice with ITU G.723.1 22 Kbps in LAN; 19 Kbps in the WAN
