Avaya S8700 Media Server system with WAN branch offices (small or large configuration)

As shown in Figure 1, the G700 Media Gateways operate in stacks with Avaya P330 switches through Octaplane connections. The remote LANs may be composed of switches from other manufacturers. In this configuration, each G700 may be equipped with LSPs to guarantee survivability in case connection to the central server is lost.
