Cascading in videoconferencing networks refers to which of the following?

Cascading in videoconferencing networks is about expanding capacity by linking multiple MCUs to an existing conference so more participants can join. Each MCU can handle a certain number of video streams; when you cascade, you add another MCU to the chain, allowing the session to distribute or offload additional streams and thus support a larger meeting. This approach is used to scale up capacity without starting a new conference from scratch. This concept is not about replacing the MCU with a different model, nor about splitting a session into smaller groups (that would be breakout rooms), and it isn’t primarily about upgrading the video codec (which affects quality, not the number of participants you can support).
