In some cases, the SBC Edge Portfolio needs to ignore a forked leg (disconnect) if that leg is going to voicemail box, but the rest of the forked legs may connect to the subscriber's other numbers.

Deployment Scenario

  1. The inbound call to the SBC Edge Portfolio is forked to Skype and PBX.
  2. The Skype user is signed out and the call connects immediately to EUM Voicemail (within milliseconds).
  3. The SBC Edge Portfoliorecognizes that this leg is too quickly connected (configurable), and then removes the call leg from outbounds.
  4. The call fork to the PBX continues for the subscriber to pick up.
