[OSL | CCIE_Voice] Trancoding resources on CUBE
Earlier this week, I began Vol 2 Lab 1. 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. Can someone explain this to me? sccp local Loopback1 sccp ccm 192.168.99.1 identifier 1 version 7.0 sccp ! sccp ccm group 1 bind interface Loopback1 associate ccm 1 priority 1 associate profile 1 register RTR-XCODE signaling dscp ef ! dspfarm profile 1 transcode codec g711ulaw codec g711alaw codec g729ar8 codec g729abr8 codec g729r8 maximum sessions 45 associate application SCCP ... telephony-service sdspfarm units 1 sdspfarm transcode sessions 45 sdspfarm tag 1 RTR-XCODE max-ephones 1 max-dn 1 ip source-address 192.168.99.1 port 2000 max-conferences 8 gain -6 transfer-system full-consult create cnf-files version-stamp Jan 01 2002 00:00:00 -- Matthew Berry A+, CCENT, CCNA, CCNA Voice, CCVP, CCIE Voice Written Vitals: GVoice: +1.612.424.5044 Gmail: ciscovoiceg...@gmail.com Skype: ciscovoiceguru Twitter: ciscovoiceguru Cert Stats: Cisco Cert Journey Began: Jan 1, 2009 1st Lab Attempt: Aug 16, 2010 ___ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com
Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Trancoding resources on CUBE
I think the number 90 was not b/c 45 (dspfarm) + 45 (sdspfarm), you had a value of 90 because each transcoder session consists of two transcoding streams between callers using transcode.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] Trancoding resources on CUBE
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.

Matthew, MTP Dixieland is the hardware reference: MODEL_DIXIELAND_CFB = 52, // Cisco IOS Conference Bridge (HDV2) MODEL_DIXIELAND_SW_MTP = 83, // Cisco IOS Media Termination Point (HDV2) MODEL_DIXIELAND_MTP = 112, // Cisco IOS Media Termination Point (HDV2) On older equipment: MODEL_YOKO_CONF_BRIDGE = 51, // Conference Bridge WS-X6608 MODEL_YOKO_MTP = 111, // Media Termination Point Hardware I had done research on this in the past, I thought they were some kind of music :) Bo On Fri, May 7, 2010 at 5:51 AM, Berry, Matthew J. mjbe...@krollontrack.comwrote: Bo - You're right.
