Caveats

Behavior During Times of Network Congestion

Anything that degrades network performance can affect voice and video quality, and sometimes, can cause a call to drop. Sources of network degradation can include, but are not limited to, the following activities:

• Administrative tasks, such as an internal port scan or security scan
• Attacks that occur on your network, such as a Denial of Service attack

To reduce or eliminate any adverse effects to the devices, schedule administrative network tasks during a time when the devices are not being used or exclude the devices from testing.
