An International Telecommunications Union (ITU)
standard that provides specification for
computers, equipment, and services for
multimedia communication over
packet based networks that defines how real-time
audio, video and data information is transmitted. H.323 is commonly used in
VoIP, Internet
Telephony, and IP-based videoconferencing. Users can connect with other
users over the Internet and use varying products
that support H.323. This standard is based on the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) Real-Time Protocol (RTP)
and Real-Time Control Protocol (RTCP),
with additional protocols for
call signaling, and
data and audiovisual communications.
