In this section:

Use the SIP trunk group CAC parameters to configure call admission control (CAC) settings for a SIP trunk group on ingress, on egress, and as a whole.

Note

As a best practice, always use UPPERCASE for trunk group names.


Note

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


Note

SIP subscription CAC limits are not applied to SUBSCRIBE requests from registered users in access deployments.
