Excerpt

High Probability of Completion (HPC) features comprise a set of functionalities that provide an enhanced probability of call completion to authorized Government Emergency Telecommunications Service (GETS) and Wireless Priority Service (WPS) users during network stress and/or congestion.

There are two methods in HPC call classification:

  • Early HPC classification—An HPC call is recognized based on the received SIP RPH content in the incoming INVITE or the code point in Calling Party's Category (CPC) parameter of the ISUP-MIME. For ANSI, the CPC parameter is National Security/Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP) and for ITU, the CPC parameter isInternationalEmergency Preference Scheme (IEPS).
  • Late HPC classification—An HPC call can also be recognized by the PSX during analysis of the Called Party Number.

must be configured to use the external PSX for this feature. For more information on using the PSX for GETS / WPS, refer to the PSX documentation Government Emergency Telecommunications Service.

The SBC supports the use of different Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) marking for signaling traffic that is associated with HPC and non-HPC calls. To support different DSCP marking for HPC and non-HPC calls in a SIP trunk group, the dscpValue parameter in the HPC profile configuration marks HPC calls and the DSCP configuration in the SIP signaling port marks non-HPC calls. The DSCP value configured in the HPC profile takes precedence over the DSCP value configured in the SIP signaling port and applies to all outbound traffic (IPv4 and IPv6) associated with HPC calls.

The outbound SIP signaling messages associated with HPC and non-HPC calls are marked with the DSCP value configured in the SIP signaling port when the hpcCallProfile is not configured in a SIP trunk group.

Note
titleCaution

Setting the DSCP on the UDP or TCP network socket is a system call, which impacts the system performance if the DSCP frequently switches between HPC and non-HPC calls. 

Info
titleNote

This feature only applies to HPC calls over UDP transport. This feature does not apply to TCP transport since TCP is byte stream oriented and does not preserve message boundaries.

When the dscpValue parameter is modified, the new value applies only to new HPC calls while the existing HPC calls use the previously configured value.
