C. Reviewed logs in the Active and Standby server.  Found no issues or data logged by the standby server at this time which matches the fact that an interchange did not take place.  See the attached log for the findings from the Active server.  The only thing showing in the log to indicate an issue is

Denial Event 2055 - call process report that there's issues on the H.248 link

Next move - disconnected the socket connection to several Gateways to reset the link.

No hardware issues found.  No software issues found.  The Gateways showed that they lost communication with the CM  then the H.248 link was down - all at the same time the CM reported an issue on the link as well. The Gateways reported the issue from the far end, the CM side. Per the logs, the outage lasted less than 60 seconds.   Not all Gateway links were bounced.
