What Networking Protocols Are Used?
Link Layer Discovery
Protocol-Media
Endpoint Devices
(LLDP-MED)
LLDP-MED is an extension of the
LLDP standard developed for voice
products.
The Cisco Unified IP Phone supports
LLDP-MED on the SW port to
communicate information such as:
•
Voice VLAN configuration
•
Device discovery
•
Power management
•
Inventory management
For more information about
LLDP-MED support, see the
LLDP-MED and Cisco Discovery

Real-Time Control
Protocol (RTCP)
RTCP works with Real-Time
Transport Protocol (RTP) to provide
QoS data (such as jitter, latency, and
round trip delay) on RTP streams.
RTCP is disabled by default, but you
can enable it on a per-phone basis
using Cisco Unified
Communications Manager. For more
information, see the
“Network
Configuration” section on page 4-41
.
Real-Time Transport
Protocol (RTP)
RTP is a standard protocol for
transporting real-time data, such as
interactive voice and video, over data
networks.
Cisco Unified IP Phones use the RTP
protocol to send and receive
real-time voice traffic from other
phones and gateways.
