In Figure 4-4 we see reference to audio and video codecs. Video support is optional, but when video is supported, an H.323 endpoint must, at a minimum, support video according to H.261 Quarter Common Intermediate Format (QCIF). The support of audio is mandatory and H.323 mandates that the G.711 codec be supported (both A-law and m-law). Given its relatively high bandwidth requirement, G.711 is certainly not considered the first choice for audio codecs. G.711 is specified as mandatory, however, so that all H.323 endpoints support at least one audio codec. In reality, most endpoints will support a range of more efficient codecs. After all, if a system implements only G.711, then the potential bandwidth efficiencies of VoIP are negated. After all, we would like to carry voice as efficiently as possible, provided that quality objectives can be met.

The advertisement allows each contributing station to limit its rate, to the current weight-adjusted fairRate, resulting in changes to rate statistics measured on the downstream link of the congested station. The rate statistics are used to ensure that the condition b1+ +b6 LINK_RATE(1-fa) is met when adjusting the fairRate. The adjusted fairRate is then advertised upstream. The feedback between the congested station and the contributing stations allows continuous adjustment of rates to meet the fairness objectives. The fairness procedure is able to indicate a single congestion point, known as a choke point, to each station. Figure 12.6 provides an example in which multiple stations on the ringlet are congested. Each station independently computes a fairRate. Congested station S4 computes a fairRate of 10 units and receives an advertised fairRate of 5 units from downstream neighbor S5. The advertisement originated at downstream station S6. Comparing the fairRates, S4 determines that the fairRate of S6 is more restrictive (i.e., smaller) than its own fairRate. S4 propagates the advertised fairRate of S6 (5 units) instead of advertising its own fairRate (10 units). By advertising the more restricted fairRate of S6, it is ensured that the condition bi/wi fairRate is met for both sets of contributing stations (i.e., S1 S4, and S5 S6). The result is that stations S1 S3 are not aware of the less restrictive congestion being experienced by S4, and will not limit the traffic destined to S5; this will not create a problem because if the congestion at S4 becomes more restrictive than the congestion at S6 the result will be similar to the next example. Figure 12.7 illustrates the case in which stations S4 and S6 are again congested but the fairRate computed by S4 is more restrictive (i.e., smaller) than the fairRate computed by S6. Station S4 computes a fairRate of 10 units and receives an advertised fairRate of 20 units originating from S6 and propagated by S5. Comparing the fairRates, S4 determines that its fairRate is smaller than that of S6. S4 advertises its own fairRate rather than propagating the advertised fairRate of S6. By advertising the more restrictive fairRate of S4 between S4 and S1, and the less restrictive fairRate of S6 between stations S6 and S4, it is ensured that the condition bi/wi fairRate is met for both sets of contributing stations (i.e., S1 S4 and S5 S6), while not unnecessarily restricting the rates of stations S5 and S6.

Besides the problems presented here, the case study in 13 provides additional practice. To supplement the examples in this chapter, 13 provides a complete database design case including conceptual data modeling, schema conversion, and normalization. 1. For the big university database table, list FDs with the column StdCity as the determinant that are not true due to the sample data. With each FD that does not hold, identify the sample rows that contradict it. Remember that it takes two rows to contradict an FD. The sample data are repeated in Table 7.P1 for your reference.

If you have multiple paths to reach the same destination within a routing protocol, the appliance uses the lowest metric value when choosing a route and places the lowest metric route in the routing table. However, if more than one routing protocol is learning
