CUBE sizing with encryption - H.323

PETER NEGUS · ‎01-16-2008

Does anyone have any experience of using CUBE to decrypt secure calls from call manager (h.323) and re-originate them as unencrypted h.323 calls to a service provider? What impact does the encryption have on capacity? Can you recommend an IOS version and feature set? Any other advice on the subject would be appreciated.

The Cisco Unified Border Element is built on Cisco IOS Software and runs on the following platforms:

" Cisco AS5400XM and AS5350XM Universal Gateways

" Cisco 7301 Router

" Cisco 7200VXR Series Routers

" Cisco 3800 Series Integrated Services Routers (Cisco 3825 and 3845)

" Cisco 3700 Series Multiservice Access Routers (Cisco 3745 and 3725)

" Cisco 2800 Series Integrated Services Routers (Cisco 2801, 2811, 2821, and 2851)

" Cisco 2600XM Series Multiservice Routers (Cisco 2610XM, 2611XM, 2620XM, 2621XM, 2650XM, 2651XM, and the Cisco 2691)

A minimum of 64-MB flash memory and 256-MB DRAM is required, and a minimum of 1 Fast Ethernet port for an external interface is required.

The Cisco Unified Border Element may require additional hardware for connectivity to the PSTN and WAN, and for transcoding capabilities. If connected to the IP network through a WAN connection, the Cisco Unified Border Element supports all the WAN connectivity methods and interface cards that the underlying router platform supports.
