In an embodiment, a machine-readable volatile or non-volatile storage medium stores one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform monitoring a plurality of video conference locations, each of the locations comprising one or more video conference rooms, resulting in creating and storing monitored data; generating service level view data which when displayed on a video display unit concurrently comprises graphical representations of all the locations and all the rooms, and graphical representations of faults associated with each of the rooms. Rooms can include coder-decoders (codecs), cameras, video monitors, and network packet data routing or switching elements. Embodiments provide a holistic view of all video conference rooms in a deployment, with aggregated call usage, quality and fault data, with highly useful graphical management displays.

Automatic room rescheduling is described. In an embodiment, an apparatus receives status data regarding status of communications resources capable of use in a teleconference call at a first teleconference location. The apparatus determines that a status of one or more of the communications resources might negatively affect the teleconference call. The apparatus receives availability data about other available communications resources and teleconference locations. Based on at least the status data and the availability data, the apparatus reschedules the teleconference call for a second teleconference location. The apparatus communicates information about the rescheduling and identifies the second teleconference location to one or more teleconference call participants. In other embodiments, the invention encompasses a method and a computer-readable medium configured for carrying out the method steps.

Automatic room rescheduling

A method includes receiving a first capture time corresponding to a first time that a data packet is received at a first probe and a second capture time corresponding to a second time that the data packet is received at a second probe. The data packet is from existing network traffic transmitted over a data network. The first and second probes can be configured to capture the data packet in response to a capture instruction. The first capture time and second capture time are different and are used to calculate the latency of at least a portion of a data network.
