H.323
This is the umbrella standard for IP conferencing. It includes several sub-standards: H.261 defines the mandatory video Coder/Decoder (CODEC)* standard, whereas H.263 and H.264 define optional video CODECs. Similarly G.711 is the mandatory audio CODEC and G.729 one of several audio CODEC options. The complex operation of managing the data streams from the CODEC including calling, establishing a call, and controlling the various component parts i.e. video, audio and data is defined by two standards, H.225 and H.245.
