In this section:

Use this feature to define multi-level Call Admission Control (CAC) policy using IP hierarchal trunks. A hierarchy is created by linking trunks together in a pyramid-type structure. Regular IP trunks are at the base of the pyramid; above them in the pyramid are IP linked trunks or shared CAC-limits pools.

A shared CAC-limits pool is a global resource that constrains the resource usage of a set of trunks. Both the limit and current usage is maintained for each value. A shared CAC-limits pool is not tied to a specific zone or address context. There may be up to 2,000 shared CAC limits pools on

.

Validation rules:

  • There can only be one parent for any object.
  • An IP trunk group can be assigned as child to any CAC-limits pool (parent).
  • A CAC-limits pool can be assigned as a parent to any other CAC-limits pool that does not have a parent of its own.
  • A CAC-limits pool cannot be assigned to a parent if it already has a CAC-limits pool child.
  • The children of a particular CAC-limits pool can be either CAC-limits pools or IP trunks.

Call processing rules when using shared CAC-limits pool involve:

  • Applying the configured limits.
  • Checking the limits of the parent above in the pyramid. If limits are met by all parents, the call is admitted.

The hierarchy has a maximum of three levels: two levels of shared CAC-limits pool and an IP trunk at the bottom. The hierarchy is built bottom up by assigning a parent to an existing trunk group or CAC-limits pool. The parents must exist before being assigned.

When deleting a parent and associated child CAC, be sure to first de-associate the child from the parent before deleting the parent CAC. Do not attempt to delete both in the same transaction. See examples below:


Deletion Scenario 1:

% delete addressContext AC1 zone ZONE_IAD sipTrunkGroup TG1 parentSharedCacLimitsPoolName 
% commit 
% delete global cac sharedCacLimitsPool CAC0 
% commit

Deletion Scenario 2:

% delete global cac sharedCacLimitsPool CAC0 parentSharedCacLimitsPoolName 
% commit 
% delete global cac sharedCAcLimitsPool CAC1 
% commit

Note

Unless annotated otherwise, the parameter values in this section apply to the SBC Core.

N/A

Use this object to specify shared CAC-limits pool name.

sharedCacLimitsPool

N/A

  • <pool_name> – The name of the shared CAC-limits pool. Object containing CAC-limits that apply to a set of trunk groups.
  • bandwidthLimit – (Default is 'unlimited') Total Media Bandwidth Limit (in Kbits/sec). (range: 0-2000000000, or unlimited)
  • bandwidthLimitThreshold – (Default = 0) Bandwidth utilization notification threshold. (range: 0-100)
  • callLimit – (Default is 'unlimited') The total number of concurrent calls (either ingress or egress) allowed. (range: 0-2000000000, or unlimited)
  • callLimitThreshold – (Default = 0) Call Limit utilization notification threshold, as a percentage. (range: 0-100)
  • egress – Egress-specific CAC configuration.
    • callBurstMax – (Default is 'unlimited') Maximum allowed burst (above the allowed sustained rate) for egress call attempts. (range: 1-2000, or unlimited. SBC 7000 range is 1-6000, or unlimited)
    • callRateMax – (Default is 'unlimited') Maximum sustained egress call rate allowed in calls/second. (range: 1-1000, or unlimited. SBC 7000 range is 1-3000, or unlimited) 

      You can set both "callRateMax" and "callBurstMax" as "unlimited"; however, if you assign a value to one parameter, the other must also be assigned a value.
