Re: [cisco-voip] Cisco and Lync/Skype with Media Bypass
Thanks Matt and Mike. I installed the Lync/Skype planning tool which provided the number of mediation servers required with (24) and without (4) media bypass enabled. I was surprised the capacity planning spreadsheet didn’t have the mediation server Regarding MTP’s, the plan is to put an Acme Packet 4600 SBC between Cisco and Skype. The SBC supports restricted-latching in the realm facing SfB to support Skype’s media bypass. The 4600 will support up to 15,000 concurrent transcoded calls and the network requires 12,000. Typically the SBC replaces the need for MTP by normalizing SIP signaling and converting CUCM delayed offer to Early offer “in between” CUCM and Lync/Skype (or a SIP Trunk provider). The cost of the 4600 with transcoding is much lower in cost compared to buying sixteen 4451-X routers with PVDM-3000. > On Oct 13, 2016, at 9:20 AM, Matt Slaga (AM) <matt.sl...@dimensiondata.com> > wrote: > > Media Bypass in SfB maximums are not posted, they only post the Mediation > server transcoding maximums, which are between 1100 and 1500 for each > dedicated mediation server and 150 for co-located mediation server. > https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg615015.aspx > <https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg615015.aspx> > > In my opinion, the bigger limitation however is on the CUCM side.

Re: [cisco-voip] Cisco and Lync/Skype with Media Bypass
Media Bypass in SfB maximums are not posted, they only post the Mediation server transcoding maximums, which are between 1100 and 1500 for each dedicated mediation server and 150 for co-located mediation server. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg615015.aspx In my opinion, the bigger limitation however is on the CUCM side. SfB endpoints will bypass the mediation server, however every call will terminate to either CUCM MTP or an MTP within an IOS gateway (if configured in MRG/MRGLs). Today, it is not possible to connect a SfB endpoint directly to a Cisco endpoint without a Cisco MTP in the middle. This is extremely important when designing your integration, especially if you have a large deployment.

Are you using the official Planning Tool that you download and install from Microsoft? One of the questions it asks about each site is what percentage of calls will use media bypass. When you get to the end it should take your media bypass use into consideration in its recommendations. -mn -Original Message- From: cisco-voip [mailto:cisco-voip-boun...@puck.nether.net] On Behalf Of Mark Holloway Sent: October-12-16 2:39 PM To: voip puck <cisco-voip@puck.nether.net> Subject: [cisco-voip] Cisco and Lync/Skype with Media Bypass This is more of a Microsoft question but I’ve searched everywhere and cannot find an answer.
