General network traffic configuration

Network traffic configuration

Begin _____________________

1. Determine the carried load and size of each TI, EI trunk. Calculate the number of Avaya Media Modules required for each trunk group of each type. See Step 1. Avaya MM710 Media Module calculation.
2. Determine the number and the carried load of each DCP station. Compute the number of Avaya MM712 Media Modules required. See Step 2. DCP Station calculation.
3. Determine the carried load and size of each analog trunk group. Determine the number and the carried load of each analog station. Compute the number of Avaya MM711 Media Modules required for the combined pool of stations and trunks. See Step 3. Avaya MM711 Media Module calculation.
4. Using the results of the previous three steps, calculate G.711 DSP Usage and Resources. This computation involves the percent of traffic for each codec type. For Time Slot (TS) stations and trunks, assume that all calls require IP conversion. For IP stations and trunks, this computation will require the percent of traffic that shuffles. See Step 4. DSP resource calculation.
5. Determine the number of G700s to support the Avaya Media Modules from Steps 1, 2, and 3. Determine the number of additional Avaya MM760 Media Modules required by the result of Step 3. If additional Avaya MM712 DCP Media Modules are required, recalculate the number of G700s. See Step 5. Initial G700 Media Gateway calculation.
6. Given the number of G700s (initially from Step 4), determine the number of Avaya S8300 Media Servers configured as LSPs. This number will include the Avaya S8300 Media Server, if applicable. Recalculate the number of G700s. Repeat until the number of G700s is the same. See Step 6. Final G700 Media Gateway calculation.
7. Check to see if there is sufficient capacity for Tone Detection. See Step 7. Tone detection calculation.
8. Check to see if there is sufficient capacity for Announcements. Step 8. Announcement calculation.
9. Calculate the data network impact. See Step 9. Data network impact calculation.

To simplify the guidelines, the following assumptions are made:

• All Avaya Media Module endpoints require PCM to IP conversion. This slightly increases the DSP load, because some Avaya Media Module endpoints will talk directly over the TDM bus.
• IP to IP calls always shuffle.
• Calculations are performed on a region by region basis. Summing over the regions yield system results. For R1, consolidation of resources on a network class level is ignored.
• Since the S8300, the G700 servers, and the G700 TDMs should never be overloaded, they are not included in the configuration guidelines.
