Bo - You're right. I changed the "max sessions" value from 45 to 2. This is the new output from my "show sdspfarm units":
mtp-1 Device:RTR-XCODE TCP socket:[1] REGISTERED in SCCP ver 17/10 actual_stream:4 max_stream 4 IP:192.168.99.1 57105 MTP Dixieland keepalive 0 Supported codec: G711Ulaw G711Alaw G729 G729a G729ab max-mtps:1, max-streams:90, alloc-streams:4, act-streams:0 Two values to point out: MAX-STREAMS remains the same. This is the number of sdspfarm transcode sessions I specified under telephony-service. You're right, in that xocde/mtp resources are counted as multiples of two. Since I stated 45 sessions, it lists 90 streams. ALLOC-STREAMS reflects the max-sessions listed under the dspfarm profile section of my configuration. Since I entered 2 sessions, it displays 4 streams (again, multiples of two). What I need pay attention to is SESSIONS versus STREAMS. Lastly, what the heck is "MTP Dixieland"? (second line of the output). That's weird.

In this lab, I configured transcoding resources on the CUBE. These resources were registered to the gateway itself, under telephony-service. I was messing around on a router this morning and found something confusing. If I define "maximum sessions" under the dspfarm profile as well as "sdspfarm transcode sessions" under "telephony-service," the values seem to be considered independent of each other. I defined 45 maximum sessions on the dspfarm profile. Hower, when I run a "show sdspfarm units," I get a total of 90 max-streams. The two commands appear to be summed up in this command.
