ICN is ViDeNet Member

ViDeNet is a virtual network that uses the H.323 (IP video conferencing) protocol. ViDeNet is comprised of numerous, autonomously managed H.323 gatekeepers around the world and utilizes a Global Dialing Scheme (GDS) that provides a structure for peering between these gatekeepers, allowing any endpoint associated with a ViDeNet zone (as the ICN is) to contact an endpoint in any other ViDeNet zone. ICN IP video service users have access to the Global Dialing Scheme and a searchable directory providing access to hundreds of universities, colleges and other educational entities around the world.

Additional information about the ICN IP video service is available at www.illinois.net/services/video. Information about ViDeNet is available at www.vide.net/.
