Hi,

I went through the systems guide and could find out the following info for RSVP 
codec allocation for multidirectional call, Can you please validate my 
understanding.

Special Configuration With RSVP

In an RSVP session, special configuration applies if all the following 
conditions exist:
•One endpoint device, such as Cisco IP Interactive Voice Response (IP IVR), was 
configured to support only the G.711 codec.

•RSVP was configured for the call.

•The interregion codec specifies G.729 between the calling RSVP agent and the 
called RSVP agent.
When the call is made, to achieve successful allocation and reservation of RSVP 
agent resources and bandwidth, the administrator must configure the media 
termination point (MTP)/RSVP agent with the G.729 codec in addition to the 
pass-through codec. This configuration allows insertion of a transcoder between 
the RSVP agent of the called side and the called device at the time of media 
connection. When codecs match, codec pass-through takes place; if codecs do not 
match, the call cannot continue without a transcoder.
If configuration of the G.729 codec in the agent does not take place, the call 
will fail because Cisco Unified Communications Manager will not invoke a 
transcoder that is needed for the RSVP call.

The situation arises if either of the following conditions apply: the 
interregion codec gets used between calling and called agents or between two 
endpoints that specify G.729. Two options exist to enable successful routing of 
this call:
•Use RSVP agent for IVR as a transcoder. In this case, the interregion codec 
between the transcoder/RSVP agent and IVR needs to specify the G.711 codec.

•Use software MTP as RSVP Agents and insert a transcoder between IVR and the 
RSVP agent for IVR. In this case, ensure the software MTP is configured with 
the G.729 codec in addition to the pass-through codec.

Keep in mind that the RSVP agent that has transcoding capability cannot perform 
G.729-to-G.729 transcoding. If you use a transcoder as an RSVP agent, you 
either must use the pass-through codec or configure the transcoder, so one of 
the codecs that is used on both sides of the transcoder specifies G.711.
