* H.323 is an umbrella recommendation from the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) that sets standards for multimedia communications over Local Area Networks (LANs) that do not provide a guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS). The H.323 standards are important building blocks for a broad new range of collaborative, LAN-based applications for multimedia communications. H.323 consists of several protocols designed for different purposes but that work together. They included H.245 for control, H.225 for connection establishment, H.332 for large conferences, H.450.X for supplementary services, H.235 for security, and H.246 interoperability with circuit switched services. * H.323 is an umbrella recommendation from the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) which consists of the following standards: Audio: Audio signals contain digitized and compressed speech. The compression algorithms supported by H.323 are all proven ITU standards. H.323 terminals must support the G.711 voice standard for speech compression. The different ITU recommendations for digitizing and compressing speech signals reflect different tradeoffs between speech quality, bit rate, computer power, and signal delay. G.711 generally transmits voice at 56 or 64 kbps, well within the bandwidth limits likely on a LAN, but was designed originally for continuous bit-rate networks. Video: While video capabilities are optional, any video-enabled H.323 terminal must support the H.261codec; support for H.263 is optional. Video information is transmitted at a rate no greater than that selected during the capability exchange. Data: H.323 supports data conferencing through the T.120 specification. An ITU standard, T.120 addresses point-to-point and multipoint data conferences. It provides interoperability at the application, network, and transport level. * Terminals: are the client endpoint on the LAN which provide for real-time, two-way communications. All terminals must support voice communicati
