In a co-resident deployment model for small- and medium-sized networks, the Huawei Service Management Center (SMC) and the Switch Center (SC) are installed on the same physical or virtual server. This configuration is designed for simplicity and lower cost but involves sharing system resources between the management plane (SMC) and the call control/media traversal plane (SC). This sharing of resources limits the overall capacity of the system. According to official specifications for this deployment mode, the maximum supported capacity is 500 concurrent video calls.

the system supports a maximum of 500 concurrent calls).

In SIP-based multipoint video conferences, the Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) is used to manage the sharing of presentation content. BFCP is a signaling protocol that controls which participant has the "floor," or the right to transmit a media stream, such as a presentation or screen share, to the other participants. While the actual presentation media is encapsulated and transported using RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol), BFCP is the specific protocol responsible for arbitrating and controlling access to this shared resource, ensuring that only one participant sends the presentation at a time.

1. Huawei Certified ICT Associate - Video Conference V4.0 Training Material. (Internal Huawei Documentation). The official courseware for the H11-861 V4.0 exam details the protocol stacks used in video conferencing. In the module covering SIP-based conferencing

it specifies BFCP as the protocol for presentation and data sharing control. (e.g.

Section: SIP Protocol Family).

2. IETF RFC 4582: Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP). This is the primary standards document defining the protocol.

Section 1

Introduction: "This document specifies the Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP). BFCP is a protocol for coordinating access to shared resources in a conference... Another example is the right to send video in a video conference

where the conference policy only allows a single participant to send video at a time." This directly establishes BFCP's role in managing presentation streams.

Section 10.5.3: Conferencing: This academic text discusses protocols for multimedia conferencing

explaining that "For floor control in SIP-based conferences

the IETF has standardized the Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) [RFC4582]." This confirms its use in the context described.

The uncompressed bitrate of a digital video stream is calculated by multiplying the number of pixels per frame by the color depth (bits per pixel) and the frame rate (frames per second).

For a 1080p signal, the resolution is 1920 horizontal pixels by 1080 vertical pixels.

Pixels per frame: 1920 × 1080 = 2,073,600

Bits per frame: 2,073,600 pixels × 24 bits/pixel = 49,766,400 bits

Bits per second (bps): 49,766,400 bits/frame × 60 frames/s = 2,985,984,000 bps

Megabits per second (Mbit/s): 2,985,984,000 bps / 1,000,000 = 2985.984 Mbit/s

Rounding to the nearest integer gives 2986 Mbit/s.

In a standard H.323 call flow between two endpoints (T1 and T2), two separate, reliable signaling channels are established directly between them. These channels use the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The first TCP connection is for H.225.0 call signaling, which handles call setup and teardown (using messages like Setup, Connect, Release Complete). The second TCP connection is for the H.245 control channel, which is used for capability negotiation, opening and closing logical media channels (for RTP streams), and other control messages. Therefore, a total of two TCP connections are required between the endpoints for a complete H.323 call.

1. ITU-T Recommendation H.323 (06/2006): Packet-based multimedia communications systems.

Section 7.1

"Call signalling channels": This section defines the two distinct channels: "The Call Signalling Channel is a reliable channel used to convey H.225.0 call control messages... The H.245 Control Channel is a reliable channel used to convey H.245 messages." In the context of IP networks

a "reliable channel" is implemented using TCP. The standard call flow diagrams illustrate these as separate connections established between the endpoints.

"H.323

" Section "H.323 Call Between Two Terminals in the Same Zone": This chapter details the call setup process

stating: "The H.225 signaling connection is established on TCP port 1720... After the H.225 call setup is complete

an H.245 session is established on a dynamically assigned TCP port. The H.245 session is used to exchange the capabilities of the H.323 terminals." This explicitly confirms two separate TCP connections.

3. Huawei HCIA-UC V4.0 Training Material: H.323 Protocol Basics.

The official training material for the corresponding certification path describes the H.323 protocol suite and call establishment process. The section on basic call flows illustrates the establishment of the H.225.0 call signaling channel (TCP) followed by the establishment of the H.245 control channel (TCP) between the two communicating endpoints.

In a Huawei SVC (Scalable Video Coding) intelligent forwarding conference, the Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) sends a multi-layered video stream. Each participant's endpoint receives a stream tailored to its capabilities and network conditions. To receive the 1080p resolution layer, the participant's terminal must have a minimum available downstream bandwidth of 2048 kbps, which is equivalent to 2 Mbit/s. If the available bandwidth is lower, the MCU will intelligently forward a lower-resolution stream (e.g., 720p or 360p) to ensure a smooth and continuous video experience, thereby preventing packet loss and freezing.
