None of the phones being monitored are on the other side of the T1 - and each site has their own DNS server - so I can easily adjust the weight of the SRV records on each side so the phones register to the 'local' HA server first.
So all the monitored extensions would be registered to the 'local' server. If everyone agrees that an HA server won't help bandwidth in this situation - I'll have to man up and do a separate install - then add additional interfaces to all my gateways/itsps/etc... The end users are getting ready to string me up - so whatever I do - I'd like to be relatively confident that it will make things better - not worse :) Nathaniel Watkins IT Director Garrett County Government 203 South 4th Street, Room 210 Oakland, MD 21550 Telephone: 301-334-5001 Fax: 301-334-5021 E-mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Graziano Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2011 6:18 PM To: Discussion list for users of sipXecs software Subject: Re: [sipx-users] Monitored Speed Dials - 'lots' of bandwidth? My opinion is it will increase trafiic in HA mode. You could force not to use the registrar as a backup to the other end, but i don't think the presence server mirrors its states with the other server, so the traffic is still going to be across the wire. RLS uses a lot of bandwidth, the number of messages it can generate in the proxy is freakishly awful (IMO). If the RLS servers are mirrired they would need to constantly update each other for every user. It might mean 20 phones were updating across the wire, but the states of 200 would, so I don't see an upside. Are the people in this site monitoring each other? If so, it might reduce that traffic, but I suspect you will have some traffic for registration backup(s).

I just added another 20 +/- phones at a remote connected via a p2p T1 - I instantly was pegged at > 100% utilization causing all kinds of issues. There was only 1-4 calls at any given time so I had been scratching my head over it. It appeared as though the traffic was going to sipXecs on udp port 0...? Then I realized that 10 of these people have sidecars - all with monitored speed dials...so I'm assuming this has to do with checking in with the server hundreds of times to see the status of the monitored lines. I've been trying to avoid a separate sipXecs install - mainly because of the hassles it involves for management/etc. - would an HA install help if I could force all of these phones to the same server - or would it still have to pass the same amount of traffic over the p2p? I'm going to try to minimize the monitored speed dials tonight - to see if I can at least get them semi-functional tomorrow - but I tend to jump the gun - so I may just do a stand-alone install tonight to get this going... Any advice?
