Hi David I reckon that by providing Voice Class Codec at the Outbound DP on CME, you have allowed the call to proceed with G711 to the GK. Ideally, if the Inbound DP (SIP Voice Pool in this case) and the Outbound DP (DP to HQ/BR1) have been hard-coded to different codec values, they should invoke a local XCoder. In your case, that doesn't happen as your outbound DP has a Voice Class Codec assigned to it.
Why don't you hard-code the Outbound DP with G729 & Inbound DP with G711 and then test the same? HTH Mann _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com
