SIP TRUNK LIMITATION

hanimolani · ‎02-16-2010

Dear all

I am using cisco callmanager 7.1 cluster and a sip trunk as gateway

more than 12000 ip phones are added to my cluster.

i want to know is there any limitation for this amount of users on my sip trunk?

is cisco callmanager sip trunk limited foe concurrent calls?

thank you

Where are you trunking to? If you are using a CUBE, these do have limits based upon the hardware the amount of concurrent calls it can handle.

You may also want to check the capacity planner.

I checked the link

but it was not talking about limit on concurrebt calls on a sip trunk

Its going to be limited by a number of factors. The capacity planner helps you figure that out.

So for example, if your Provider has SIP trunk to a CUBE, the CUBE has a limit as does the PSTN provider. (bandwidth usually) on the CUBE it is hardware/software resources.

You also have to determine the number of devices supported in the cluster. If you have 12k phones, it depends on what type of phones, this then determines the number of servers in the cluster, failover, MGCP, CTI, Media resources, etc.

So there is more pieces to the puzzle then just max call. You cant terminate 12k calls onto one CUCM server.
