Skype for Business Online Broadcast - streamsplitting by Riverbed/Cisco WAAS feasible?

hello Community

 

As alternative to using ECDN solutions (Kollective, Hyves) to mimize WAN impact, would one of the tradditional WAN Optimization solutions - Riverbed or Cisco WAAS - be able to deliver streamsplitting for the Skype Online Broadcast traffic? i have not been able to find such evidence or recommendation of Microsoft yet.  If not feasible, I would be interested to understand the reason.

 

Can you provide some insight into the protocols used by Broadcast (RDP? VBSS?) ?

 

thanks in advance. Bas

 

FYI:

-Cisco WAAS provides optimizations for video delivery: Microsoft Windows Media stream splitting: Cisco WAAS interoperates with Microsoft Windows Media Technologies (WMT) over the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP)

-Riverbed Stream Splitting applies to the following streams: Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS), Microsoft Silverlight Stream Splitting, Apple HTTP Live Streaming (HLS)

Quality & Reliability

    Curious to know if you ever have been able to get the RiverBed to inspect and optimize a Skype Meeting Broadcast?  How about MS Stream?  I see that the RiverBed has some support for MS Stream: https://support.riverbed.com/bin/support/static/oai5g7aso5ohsdtu7qii9s0s43/html/fjshfhcnlh3qk62t0d9utps44g/sct_app_sigs_html/index.html#page/sct_app_sigs_html/app_sigs_sct.html

     

    Thanks!

    Hi Bas,

     

    You can find more information about the Skype Broadcast conferencing here: https://technet.microsoft.com/nl-nl/library/dn594589.aspx

     

    Then you need the Skype for Business Server 2015 Protocol Workloads, it is documented on the last page.
