Bcp 7000 Series Insertion Rules; Bcp 7000 Series Selection Process - Nortel 5100 User Manual

176
The BCP 7000 series is an optional component because not all Service Providers
encounter the obstacles overcome by the BCP 7000 series.
Solutions that do include a BCP 7000 series do not necessarily require its
participation in every call. As well, when it is determined that a BCP 7000 series
is required to facilitate a successful multimedia session, an available BCP 7000
series must be selected.

BCP 7000 series Insertion Rules

The BCP 7000 series Insertion Rules govern the determination of when a BCP
7000 series is required to facilitate successful multimedia communications. A
location-based set of BCP 7000 series Insertion Rules utilize the structures
provisioned using the Routability Groups option. The Routability Groups menu
option is used to define a grouping of locations between which calls do not require
a BCP 7000 series. Each such grouping is a Routability Group and contains
locations that have unobscured routability between each other. The BCP 7000
series is applied whenever a call involves locations that do not exist within the
same Routability Group.

BCP 7000 series selection process

When the need for a BCP 7000 series is identified by the BCP 7000 series
Insertion Rules, the selection of the best BCP 7000 series to process the session
must occur. The role of the BCP 7000 series in the facilitation of multimedia
communications makes its positioning on the media path critical to ensure high
levels of service quality, and minimize demands on the core network. MCS
includes a location-based BCP 7000 series selection process to ensure selection of
an optimal BCP 7000 series. To ensure optimal selection, groupings of colocated
BCP 7000 series (a Media Portal Group) are associated with proximal locations;
thus the best BCP 7000 series is selected for a call based on its proximity to the
endpoints participating in the call (as each has its own associated location).
