Our remote site didn't need to monitor speed dials of the main location - it only needed to monitor speed dials of others at that location. So a separate sipXecs install kept all the 'monitoring' traffic on the remote LAN. Now we are only passing voice traffic over our 1.5 mb circuit.
I'm not aware of a way to have lots of phones monitor lots of speed dials (on the phone level) across a slower connection. With some programming changes - this might be an option: Each server in the HA configuration would keep its 'locations' RLS traffic then merge that RLS list with those of other HA servers. Then each phone would need to look to the 'local' RLS list for its updates. I think this would keep the traffic down as you would only be replicating the rls once (server to server - maybe even compressed) every second - vs. having many phones monitoring many speed dials and creating a 'web' of traffic that would overwhelm resources. To be fair, I have a very limited working knowledge of how the rls updates work, so this may make zero sense. I believe the Open UC platform plans to utilize a more efficient way to handle monitored speed dials, but I'm not sure if it solves the issue of monitoring speed dials across slower connections or not... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Claas Hilbrecht Sent: Friday, April 27, 2012 11:19 AM To: Discussion list for users of sipXecs software Subject: Re: [sipx-users] Monitored Speed Dials - 'lots' of bandwidth? > Uncheck your monitored speed dials and see if that settles things down > – it will.

I've disabled the monitoring off speed dials and this resolves our voice stuttering/glichting problems completely. You will even notice this with iftop on our VPN link, there is no extensive usage anymore. You say that you setup a remote sipXecs site to solve this issue. What have you done exactly to make monitoring (a lot) speed dials work realiable? -- Claas Hilbrecht http://www.jucs-kramkiste.de _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users/ This message and any files transmitted with it are intended only for the individual(s) or entity named.
