DSP Resource Provisioning for Transcoding and
Conferencing
Centralized call processing is typically done in environments where the
provisioning of dedicated call processing at each site is not cost effective or is
administratively unacceptable. The benefits of such a configuration are its central
administration and low cost when spread across many sites. Digital signal
processor (DSP) resources are required for transcoding and conferencing of calls.
These resources are dedicated to each individual Cisco CallManager and must be
located at the aggregation site.
Figure 7-5 shows the allocation of DSP resources.
Figure 7-5 DSP Resource Allocation
The number of allocated resources is based upon the requirements for transcoding
to voice mail and transcoding to G.711 for other applications such as
conferencing. These numbers are calculated based upon the ratio of users to voice
mail ports and the volume of conference calls placed. In cases where the
placement of resources per Cisco CallManager is deemed cost prohibitive, the
resources could be statically moved within the WAN cluster in the event of failure
of the primary Cisco CallManager.
Figure 7-6 shows a centralized transcoding resource providing conversion from
G.729a or G.723.1 to G.711 when a call that was initially placed at G.729a or
G.723.1 rolls to voice mail, which is only a G.711 application.
