In order that these large and complicated networks can work properly, mathematics and computer simulation have to be used to understand the networks. The aim is to find out how large networks can be designed and controlled to provide reliable communications systems and to use resources efficiently. The reliable and efficient operation of networks is of vital commercial importance to both users and telephone companies, and even modest percentage improvements can correspond to large revenue gains.

A large network is affected by many factors which are often hard to predict. There can be busy and quiet periods through the day. If a television program has a phone-in vote, there can be a sudden overload at one point in the network. If a digger cuts through a major telephone wire while repairing the road, there can be a sudden and unexpected failure. Mathematicians have developed ingenious ways of routing calls which can cope with these unpredictable events. These routing schemes work by searching out the spare capacity in the network so as to route calls away from parts of the network that are broken or full and into parts that are underloaded.

A good routing strategy doesn’t only need to be able to find the spare capacity in the network. In order to work well in real networks, it needs to be simple, so that thousands of calls a second can be routed instantly. It also needs to be decentralised; a central controller would be much too slow and could go disastrously wrong if it had a power failure, or got cut off from the rest of the network. Mathematicians have recently been able to show the surprising fact that these different goals can all be achieved simultaneously. Even simple, decentralised schemes can find the spare capacity as efficiently as more complicated schemes.
Erlang’s formula
Village cables.

The chances of getting an engaged tone depends
on the number of lines out of the village.

The Danish mathematician A. K. Erlang was the first to study the problem of telephone networks. In 1917, he looked at a village telephone exchange. He supposed that the village has a certain number of telephone lines going from it to the outside world.

We’ll call the number of lines C. People in the village want to make calls to the outside world. We don’t know when they will want to call or how long their calls will last, but let’s suppose that there are on average v calls starting per minute, and that the average length of a call is one minute. Erlang wanted to know what fraction of callers would find that all the C lines leading out of the village were already full, and so would not be able to make their call until later. He worked out this formula, which gives the answer:

Module 1 – codecs and cac
Module 2 – high availability (AAR & SRST)
Module 3 – media resources part 1
Module 4 – media resources part 2
Module 5 – applications and services part 1
Module 6 – applications and services part 2

Cisco® Unified Communications is a comprehensive IP communications system of voice, video, data, and mobility products and applications. It enables more effective, more secure, more personal communications that directly affect both sales and profitability. It brings people together by enabling a new way of communicating-where your business moves with you, security is everywhere, and information is always available…whenever and wherever it is needed. Cisco Unified Communications is part of an integrated solution that includes network infrastructure, security, mobility, network management products, lifecycle services, flexible deployment and outsourced management options, end-user and partner financing packages, and third-party communications applications.
Cisco Unified Presence is a crucial component for delivering the full value of a Cisco Unified Communications environment. It collects information about a user’s availability status, such as whether the user is using a communications device such as a phone at a particular time. It also collects information regarding a user’s communications capabilities, such whether Web collaboration or video conferencing is active. Using information captured by Cisco Unified Presence, applications such as Cisco Unified Personal Communicator and Cisco Unified Communications Manager (formerly Cisco Unified CallManager) can improve productivity by helping users connect with colleagues more efficiently by determining the most effective means for collaborative communication.

Product Overview
Cisco Unified Presence takes advantage of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) technology to support new voice services in the enterprise environment. SIP enhances the voice network by providing a core set of behaviors for session establishment and control that can be applied in a wide array of features and services. In addition to core SIP support, Cisco Unified Presence uses SIP for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE) technology to support both instant messaging and presence.
Cisco Unified Presence consists of a SIP presence engine and a SIP proxy function. The presence engine collects user presence information (such as busy, idle, away, or available status) as well as user capabilities (such as the capability to support voice, video, instant messaging, and Web collaboration) and compiles the data in a repository for each user. This repository is accessed by the applications and features that each user employs. Unique user rules and privacy can be applied by each user to help ensure that only authorized applications and users have access to presence information. The SIP proxy function facilitates efficient and accurate routing of both presence and general SIP messaging through the enterprise.
Cisco Unified Presence is tightly integrated with various desktop clients and applications. It helps Cisco Unified Personal Communicator, the Cisco enterprise desktop client, to perform numerous functions such as click to dial and phone control and voice, video, and Web collaboration. In addition, Cisco Unified Presence provides a core instant messaging service for Cisco Unified IP Phones connected to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Cisco Unified Presence also supports interoperability with enterprise desktop applications such as IBM Sametime and Microsoft Office Communicator, allowing these desktop applications to operate in conjunction with Cisco Unified IP Phones supported on Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Key Features and Benefits

Standards-Based SIP or SIMPLE Network Interface
Cisco Unified Presence provides a standards-based peering environment to any SIP- or SIMPLE-capable application or network. In effect, any user status that is maintained in the presence engine can be requested using the IETF standards for status and presence sharing. These SIP and SIMPLE standards define the accepted messaging to initiate and maintain a status request and to provide appropriate responses. Status information can be collected and distributed by the presence engine, depending on the needs of the services deployed.
This implemented interface provides a standardized way to interoperate with numerous Cisco partners building value-added services for Cisco Unified Communications customers.

Cisco Unified Applications Environment Interface
The Cisco Unified Applications Environment provides a mechanism to allow customers to rapidly create and deploy custom IP phone applications without the complexity associated with programming languages or interfaces. Applications developed in the Cisco Unified Applications Environment can read and write user reachability, device availability, and user status to and from the presence engine.

Cisco Unified Personal Communicator Network Interface
Cisco Unified Presence 6.0 is required to support the core functions for Cisco Unified Personal Communicator 1.2 (or later). Features include instant messaging, presence information, and storage of contacts as well as individual rules and preferences. Cisco Unified Presence also helps enable phone control and monitoring for click-to-dial services. A secure environment helps ensure the integrity of this personal information with such controls as user passwords, network connectivity information, and personal contact lists. A notification service advises Cisco Unified Personal Communicator users when changes are made to their configuration profiles.

The Business Connectivity Services component in SharePoint 2010 is the successor of the Business Data Catalog (BDC) in SharePoint 2007. This session will explain how line-of-business (LOB) data can consumed (both read and write access) in SharePoint 2010 and the Office client applications without writing any custom code using BCS and the SharePoint Designer. Further customizations of the BCS applications will be done using custom code in Visual Studio 2010.

Business Connectivity Services Architecture

* BDC Metadata Store – The BDC Metadata Store provides storage for a collection of external content types, each of which describes how to connect to the external store. The Metadata Store acts as part of the services layer. External content types are a fundamental building block of BCS.
* BDC Server Runtime – The BDC Server Runtime understands how to reach into the back-end store and connect to data based on the external content types defined within the content type store. It’s important to note the new usage of the acronym BDC to refer to the set of services that provides connectivity that is a component of BCS.
* Security – BCS provides integration with the Secure Store Service (SSS), as well as enabling your own security model.
* Solution Packaging – Solutions built with BCS can be packaged as a Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) package to be delivered to a rich client, including SharePoint Workspace, Outlook and Word. BCS also exposes APIs to extend solution packaging to target additional clients.
* Out of Box UI – BCS carries forward the ability to display external data through a Web Part UI and provides deeper integration through the addition of external lists.
* BDC Client Runtime – A symmetrical runtime is provided for client and server, enabling you to take solutions offline with a client-side cache and to connect and push changes back to the server in a consistent manner. Use of the BDC Client Runtime enables offline operations, interacting with the external data cache.
* Design Tools – SharePoint Designer provides a wealth of out-of-box functionality for creating BCS solutions, including the ability to define external content types and external lists, and to define InfoPath forms to surface the data to create simple solutions. Visual Studio provides the ability for the professional developer to extend those capabilities to create advanced solutions while leveraging the existing framework.
