Appendix H: IPSI Signaling Bandwidth Requirements
VoIP deployments require the provisioning of priority service for VoIP bearer traffic (RTP) and a
guaranteed bandwidth service for Call Signaling. General VoIP requirements are discussed in the
AVAYA IP Voice Quality Network Requirements document available on the www.support.avaya.com
website. The following list summarizes key QoS requirements for voice traffic.
• Voice bearer traffic should be marked with DSCP 46 (EF).
• Voice bearer and Voice Signaling Packet loss should not be greater than 3%.
• One-way delay should be no more than 150 milliseconds.
• Average one-way jitter should be less than 30 milliseconds.
• H.323 Signaling Traffic should be marked DSCP 26 (AF31)
• IPSI Call signaling traffic should be given a guaranteed bandwidth on WAN links.
• IPSI Signaling Packet loss should not be greater than 3%.
The IPSI circuit pack provides enterprises with the capability to IP-connect Port Networks over
LAN/WAN links in simplex and high availability configurations. Call signaling and system maintenance
traffic is passed between S87XX/S8500 call control servers and the IPSI circuit packs in a port network.
The call signaling traffic is encapsulated AVAYA proprietary CCMS (Control Channel Message Set)
messages inside TCP/IP packets. The CCMS messages are H.323, H.225, and Q.931 messages used for
registration of IP endpoints, to setup and teardown calls, periodic testing of the hardware, and keep-alive
messages for IPSI connected port networks. These CCMS messages are critical to the stability of a port
network and delivery of CCMS messages must be guaranteed.
The following table and graph displays IPSI call signaling traffic for varying Busy Hour Call Completion
rates (BHCC). BHCC IPSI bandwidth is based on 150 IP endpoints originating and answering 10 second
duration ISDN trunk calls within a port network. The simulated call scenario is a general business case.
The common defaults for station traffic usage in a general business scenario are light traffic, moderate
traffic, and heavy traffic.
