Technology improvements

Direct media connectivity between Lync and Skype clients

• SILK has been ported over to Lync desktop client. (other soon)

• SILK will currently only used in Lync-Skype Interop Calls

• G.722 and G.711 remain on the list of common codecs

• Video using H.264 SVC

• Added support for FEC

• Media connectivity using ICE - ICE v19 support added to Skype client

• Along with STUN\TURN for NAT traversal

Contacts/Presence

• Remain consistent with phase 1

• Skype* and Lync users can add users & view

presence

Sessions

• Chats, voice (Silk) and Video (H.264)

• Encryption with TLS and sRTP

• NAT Traversal with Stun/Turn/Ice

Not included:

• Select Mobile clients (Skype)

• Multi-Party Calls

• Other modalities including data sharing

With phase 2, we are adding video between Lync & Skype users along with

encryption through TLS for signalling and sRTP for media.

* Skype users require MSA authentication

Lync Server is not directly authenticating the user. It is relying on a trusted source (ADFS) to handle authentication on its behalf

Other authentication-type examples:

“Our security policy mandates all solutions utilize other forms of authentication aside from a traditional username/password”

“Our users don’t know their passwords”

#

1. Windows Phone Lync client asks the Lync

Server to sign-in. Server responds back with

authentication types

2. Client understands it needs to contact an

ADFS server in order to authenticate. Client

sends request to ADFS, ADFS validates the

need.

3. Client presents auth cookie to Lync Server

for a WebTicket; then used WebTicket to

request a Lync Cert and successfully signs

in.

JLync – Javascript Lync

• Enable Lync integration on websites

• Audio/Video/Screensharing, most likely with browser plugin

• Javascript Object Model for using UCWA

• Delivered using CU for Lync Server 2013 “when it’s ready”

• Rumor it will be called UCJA (UC Javascript API)

• “WebRTC” Ready

Announcements @ Lync Conference 2014

During Keynote

• Demo call between Lync client & Legacy Tandberg VTC

Why would we need Video Interop Server

• Signaling / Control Channel

Different SIP “dialects”

• Media Stream / Codecs

Lync: H.264 SVC Mode 1

VTCs: H.264 SVC Mode 0

How it works

• Signaling / Control Channel

Mediate between different SIP implementations

• Media Stream / Codecs

Re-packetization of Lync’s Mode 1 stream to Mode 0
