OPTIMAL FIREWALL CONFIGURATION

The performance of a Meetingplus session depends on many factors. Some of these factors can be administratively controlled within the admin user interface, whereas others can be managed within the customer’s corporate network or home computing infrastructure. In this document, we provide optimal network configuration for Meetingplus session. Our service optimizes bandwidth usage to lower the amount of data transmitted over the network, helping to reduce network congestion, increase performance and improve your experience.

OPTIMAL PROTOCOLS

Meeting plus can work through all firewalls however, for restricted environment we require following:
  1. Allow for WWW traffic using the Secure HTTP (HTTPS) protocol: Meeting plus website, administration panel, login page, registration page
  2. Allow for TCP connection (secured with [TLS and stuff]) on ports 443. This connection is used for: conference communication servers, chat transitions etc.
  3. Allow for UDP connection (secured with [TLS]) on port 443, 3478, 5349 This connection is used for: multimedia streaming (including audio and video). If for some reason UDP in your network is not available Meeting plus will transport data over TCP (ports: 443) however this approach is less efficient than using UDP which we recommend.

A WHITELIST OF DNS ADDRESSES

For most firewall or proxy systems, we recommend specifying a whitelist of DNS addresses for Meeting plus services so outbound connections can be made. The list of Meeting plus domains currently includes (but is not limited to) the following:
