Prerequisites for SIP QoS

Measurement-Based Call Admission Control for SIP Feature

By default, gateways support reliable provisional responses. That is, no additional configuration tasks are necessary to enable reliable provisional responses.

Note

For information on configuring reliable provisional responses including enabling the feature again if it was disabled, see SIP Gateway Support of RSVP and TEL URL.

Configure a basic VoIP network.
Enable Service Assurance Agent (SAA) Responder on the originating and terminating gateway.

Note

For information on configuring Service Assurance Agent, see Network Monitoring Using Cisco Service Assurance Agent.

Note

For information about configuring VoIP, see Cisco IOS Voice, Video, and Fax Configuration Guide, Release 12.2. For information about configuring reliable provisional responses including reenabling the feature if it was disabled, see SIP Gateway Support of RSVP and TEL URL. For information about configuring Service Assurance Agent, see "Network Monitoring Using Cisco Service Assurance Agent".

SIP Gateway Support of RSVP and SIP Gateway Support of ‘tel’ URL Features

Enable RSVP on the appropriate gateway interfaces by using the ip rsvp bandwidth command.

Note

For details on the command, see the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Command Reference, Release 12.3.

Enable weighted fair queuing (WFQ) on these interfaces by using the fair-queue command. This ensures that the voice packets get priority over the interface.

Note

For details on the command, see the Cisco IOS Quality of Service Solutions Command Reference, Release 12.3. For an example, see "SIP Gateway Support of RSVP and TEL URL Example".

Set the desired and acceptable quality of service (QoS) levels in your dial peers by using the req-qos and acc-qos dial-peer configuration commands.

Bandwidth reservation is not attempted unless the desired QoS for the associated dial peer is set to controlled-load or guaranteed-delay . If the desired QoS level is set to the default of best-effort , bandwidth reservation is not attempted. With the req-qos command, synchronized RSVP is attempted for a SIP call as long as the desired (requested) QoS for the associated dial peer is set to controlled-load or guaranteed-delay .

Note

For details on the commands, see the Cisco IOS Voice Command Reference, Release 12.3. For an example, see "SIP Gateway Support of RSVP and TEL URL Example".

Restrictions for SIP QoS

Enhanced Codec Support for SIP Using Dynamic Payloads Feature

Measurement-Based Call Admission Control for SIP Feature

When detecting network congestion, the PSTN fallback feature does not affect an existing call; it affects only subsequent calls.
Only a single calculated planning impairment factor (ICPIF) delay or loss value is allowed per system.
A small additional call setup delay can be expected for the first call to a new IP destination.
The Service Assurance Agent Responder feature, a network congestion analysis mechanism, cannot be configured for non-Cisco devices.

SIP Gateway Support of RSVP and SIP Gateway Support of ‘tel’ URL Features

Bandwidth reservation (QoS) is not supported for Session Description Protocol (SDP changes between 183 Session Progress/180 Alerting and 200 OK responses.
Bandwidth reservation (QoS) is not attempted if the desired QoS level is set to the default of best-effort. The desired QoS for the associated dial peer must be set to controlled-load or guaranteed-delay .
Distributed Call Signaling (DCS) headers and extensions are not supported.
SIP gateways do not support codecs other than those listed in the SIP codec table listed in "Additional Codec Support". When an unsupported codec is selected during configuration of the dial peers, the action taken depends on the selected gateway:
- If on the originating gateway, an appropriate SIP debug trace is presented, indicating the failure to originate the SIP call leg.
- If on the terminating gateway, an appropriate SIP response (4xx) with a warning indicating incompatible media types is sent.

Information About SIP QoS

To configure SIP QoS features, you should understand the following concepts:

Enhanced Codec Support for SIP Using Dynamic Payloads

The Enhanced Codec Support for SIP Using Dynamic Payloads feature enhances codec selection and payload negotiation between originating and terminating SIP gateways.

This feature offers the following benefits:

Expanded dynamic payload support on Cisco IOS gateways, resulting in enhanced bandwidth control
Expanded ability to advertise and negotiate all codecs available on a given platform
Expanded interoperability and interconnectivity between gateways, applications, and services in the network

The feature provides the SIP enhancements described in the following sections:

Additional Codec Support

Codecs are a digital signal processor (DSP) software algorithm used to compress or decompress speech or audio signals. Previous implementations of the SIP stack on Cisco IOS gateways supported only a subset of the available codecs for each platform.

Support for codecs varies on different platforms. See the table below for a listing of SIP codec support by platform. Use the codec ? command to determine the codecs available on a specific platform.

Table 1. SIP Codec Support by Platform and Cisco IOS Release
Codec	Cisco 2600 Series, Cisco 3620, Cisco 3640, Cisco 3660	Cisco 7200 Series	Cisco AS5300	Cisco AS5350, Cisco AS5400, Cisco AS5850
Clear-channel	Yes	No	Yes	Yes
G711alaw	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

G723ar53	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
G723ar63	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
G723r53	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
G723r63	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

G728	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
G729br8	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
G729r8	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
GSM-EFR	Yes	No	Yes	No
GSM-FR	Yes	No/No	Yes	Yes

Payload Type Selection

Payload types define the content and format of Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets and the resulting stream of data generated by the RTP flow. The payload type defines the codec in use and is identified in the payload type field of the header of each RTP packet. There are two mechanisms for specifying payload type, static and dynamic.

Static payload types are assigned to specific RTP formats by RFC 1890 and these mappings are registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Although not required, static payload types can also be mapped to RTP encodings using the rtpmap attribute. The following SIP-supported codecs have static payload values defined by the IANA:

G711ulaw
G711alaw
G723r63
G726r32
G728
G729r8
GSM-FR

Dynamic payload values are used for codecs that do not have static payload values defined. Dynamic payload types do not have fixed mappings, and must be mapped to RTP encodings within the Session Description Protocol (SDP) itself using the a=rtpmap: line. The feature allows dynamic payload values to be used for the following codecs with no static payload values defined:

Clear-channel
G726r16
G726r24
GSM-EFR

Of the four codecs listed that allow dynamic payload values to be assigned, only the payload type for the clear-channel codec can be configured using the command-line interface (CLI). The remaining G.726r16, G.726r24 and GSM-EFR codecs are selected on a per-call basis by the SIP subsystem. The dynamic payload range is assigned by the IANA, with values from 96 to 127. The SIP subsystem looks for and uses the first value in the range that is both available and not reserved for Cisco IOS applications. Once a dynamic payload value is picked for a particular payload type, it cannot be used for other payload types. Of the 32 available IANA values, those reserved for special Cisco IOS applications are listed in the table below. To configure dynamic payload values for the payload types listed in the table, use the rtp payload-type command; otherwise the default values for the payload types are used.

Table 2. Default Dynamic Payload Values
Dynamic Payload Type	Default Dynamic Payload Value	Supported by SIP
Cisco-rtp-dtmf-relay	121	Yes
Named Signal Event	100	Yes
Named Telephony Event	101	Yes
Cisco-cas-payload	123	No
Cisco-clear-channel	125	No
Cisco-codec-fax-ack	97	No
Cisco-codec-fax-ind	96	No
Cisco-fax-relay	122	No
Cisco-pcm-switch-over-alaw	127	No
Cisco-pcm-switch-over-ulaw	126	No

Note

After a dynamic payload value has been assigned from the reserved range, it cannot be used for any other payload types.

Advertising Codec Capabilities

The dynamic payload value selected by the SIP subsystem is advertised in the outgoing SIP INVITE request. The Enhanced Codec Support for SIP Using Dynamic Payloads feature supports dynamic payloads by expanding the SIP subsystem ability to advertise and negotiate available codecs. SIP uses the connection, media, and attribute fields of the SDP message during connection negotiation.

The feature supports the following Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) drafts:

The following sample SIP INVITE message shows the payload value and codec selection resulting from the payload negotiation process. The media m= field includes the added payload value. The attribute a= field includes the selected codec. In this outgoing INVITE message, the first available dynamic payload value of 115 is selected by the SIP subsystem for a GSM-EFR codec.

G723 Codec Versions

In addition to the previously supported G.723r63 version of the G.723 codec, the feature supports the following versions:

G723r53, where the number 53 indicates the bit rate of 5.3 kbps
G723ar53, where the letter a indicates support for Annex A, which specifies voice activity detection (VAD)
G723ar63, where the number 63 indicates a bit rate of 6.3 kbps

A static payload value of 4 is used for all versions of the G.723 codec.

Expanded codec support allows the originating and terminating gateways to advertise and negotiate additional codec capabilities. Cisco implements support for multiple G.723 codec versions by using a=fmtp and a=rtpmap attributes in the SDP body of outgoing INVITE requests to define the G.723 codec version. For the G.723 codec, the value of a=fmtp is 4 (the IANA assigned static value), and the annexa value is either yes or no. The default for annexa is yes.

The table below lists the possible codec configurations, that, taken together with Annex A support at the remote end, result in selecting the negotiated codec.

Table 3. G723 Codecs
Configured Codec(s)	Remote End Supports Annex A	Negotiated Codec

The following partial SDP body shows the media m= field and attribute a= field for a gateway with G.723 codecs and Annex A specified.


m=audio 62986 RTP/AVP 4
a=rtpmap:4 G723/8000
a=fmtp:4 annexa=yes

G729 Codec Versions

The feature supports the following versions of G.729 codecs:

G729r8, where r8 indicates the bit rate of 8 kbps
G729br8, where b indicates support for Annex B, which specifies VAD, Discontinuity Transmission (DTX), and Comfort Noise generation (CNG).

A static payload value of 18 is used for all versions of the G.729 codec.

Cisco implements support for multiple G.729 codec versions by using a=fmtp and a=rtpmap attributes in the SDP body of outgoing INVITE requests. For the G.729 codec, the value of a=fmtp is 18 (the IANA assigned static value), and the annexb value is either yes or no. The default for annexb is yes.

The table below lists the possible codec configuration that, taken together with Annex B support at the remote end, result in selecting the negotiated codec.

Table 4. G729 Codecs
Configured Codec(s)	Remote End Supports Annex B	Negotiated Codec

Measurement-Based Call Admission Control for SIP

The Measurement-Based Call Admission Control for SIP feature implements support within SIP to monitor IP network capacity and reject or redirect calls based on congestion detection.

Feature benefits include the following:

PSTN fallback
- Automatically routes a call to an alternate destination when the data network is congested at the time of call setup, thereby enabling higher call completion rates.
- Enables the service provider to give a reasonable guarantee about the quality of the conversation to VoIP users at the time of call admission.
- PSTN fallback provides network congestion measurement, including delay, jitter, and packet loss information for the configured IP addresses.
- A new call need not wait for probe results before being admitted, thereby minimizing delays.
Call admission control
- Configurable call treatment allows the Internet service provider (ISP) the flexibility to configure how the call will be treated when local resources to process the call are not available.
- Resource unavailable signaling allows you to automatically busy out channels when local resources are not available to handle the call.
- User-selected thresholds allow you the flexibility to configure thresholds to determine resource availability.

The Measurement-Based Call Admission Control for SIP feature does the following:

Verifies that adequate resources are available to carry a successful VoIP session.
Implements a mechanism to prevent calls arriving from the IP network from entering the gateway when required resources are not available to process the call.
Supports measurement-based call admission control (CAC) processes.

Before the CAC feature was developed, gateways did not have a mechanism to check for IP network congestion and resource unavailability. Although quality of service (QoS) mechanisms provide a level of low latency and guaranteed delivery that is required for voice traffic, CAC mechanisms are intended to extend the capabilities of QoS to protect voice traffic from being negatively affected by other voice traffic. CAC is used to gracefully deny network access under congestion conditions and provide alternative call rerouting to prevent dropped or delayed calls. There are a variety of CAC mechanisms, including the following:

Measurement-based CAC, which uses probes to look ahead into the packet network to gauge the state of the network to determine whether to allow a new call.
Resource-based CAC, which calculates resources needed for the call, determines their availability, and reserves those resources.

The Cisco IOS VoiceXML feature provides an alternative to Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) for VoIP service providers that do not deploy RSVP.

The new feature implements measurement-based CAC using the mechanisms described in the following sections:

Service Assurance Agents

Service Assurance Agents (SAA) is a generic network management feature that provides a mechanism for network congestion analysis. SAA determine latency, delay, and jitter and provides real-time ICPIF calculations before establishing a call across an IP infrastructure. The SAA Responder feature uses SAA probes to traverse the network to a given IP destination and measure the loss and delay characteristics of the network along the path traveled. These values are returned to the outgoing gateway to use in making a decision on the condition of the network and its ability to carry a call. Threshold values for rejecting a call are configured at the outgoing gateway (see "PSTN_Fallback").

Each probe consists of multiple packets, a configurable parameter of this feature. SAA packets emulate voice packets and receive the same priority as voice throughout the entire network. The delay, loss, and ICPIF values entered into the cache for the IP destination are averaged from all the responses. If the call uses G.729 and G.711 codecs, the probe packet sizes mimic those of a voice packet for that codec. Other codecs use G.711-like probes. In Cisco IOS software releases later than Release 12.1(3)T, other codec choices may also be supported with their own specific probes.

The IP precedence of the probe packets can also be configured to simulate the priority of a voice packet more closely. This parameter should be set equal to the IP precedence used for other voice media packets in the network.

SAA probes used for CAC go out randomly on ports selected from within the top end of the audio User Datagram Protocol (UDP) defined port range (16384 to 32767). Probes use a packet size based on the codec the call will use. IP precedence can be set if desired, and a full Realtime Transport Protocol (RTP), UDP, or IP header is used just as a real voice packet would carry. The SAA Responder feature was called Response Time Reporter (RTR) in earlier releases of Cisco IOS software.

The SAA Responder feature can not be configured for non-Cisco devices. For a complete description of SAA configuration, see the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals and Network Management Configuration Guide, Release 12.3.

Calculated Planning Impairment Factor

The Cisco IOS VoiceXML feature supports the determination of ICPIF, as specified by International Telecommunications Union (ITU) standard G.113. The SIP subsystem calculates an impairment factor for network conditions to a particular IP address. ICPIF checks for end-to-end resource availability by calculating a Total Impairment Value, which is a function of codecs used and loss or delay of packets. You can configure router resources to make call admission decisions, using either the ICPIF threshold, or by setting delay and loss thresholds.

Configurable ICPIF values that represent the ITU specification for quality of voice as described in G.113 are the following:

5--Very good
10--Good
20--Adequate
30--Limiting case
45--Exceptional limiting case
55--Customers likely to react strongly

The default value is 20. SAA probe delay and loss information is used in calculating an ICPIF value, which is then used as a threshold for CAC decisions. You can base such decisions on either the ITU interpretation described or on the requirements of an individual customer network.

PSTN Fallback

The Cisco IOS VoiceXML feature supports PSTN Fallback, which monitors congestion in the IP network and either redirects calls to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) or rejects calls based on network congestion. Calls can be rerouted to an alternate IP destination or to the PSTN if the IP network is found unsuitable for voice traffic at that time. You can define congestion thresholds based on the configured network. This functionality allows the service provider to give a reasonable guarantee about the quality of the conversation to VoIP users at the time of call admission.

Note

PSTN Fallback does not provide assurances that a VoIP call that proceeds over the IP network is protected from the effects of congestion. This is the function of the other QoS mechanisms, such as IP Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) priority or low latency queueing (LLQ).

PSTN Fallback includes the following capabilities:

Provides the ability to define the congestion thresholds based on the network.
- Defines a threshold based on ICPIF, which is derived as part of ITU G.113 (see "Service Assurance Agents").
- Defines a threshold based solely on packet delay and loss measurements.
Uses SAA probes to provide packet delay, jitter, and loss information for the relevant IP addresses. Based on the packet loss, delay, and jitter encountered by these probes, an ICPIF or delay or loss value is calculated.
Supports calls of any codec. Only G.729 and G.711 have accurately simulated probes. Calls of all other codecs are emulated by a G.711 probe.

The call fallback subsystem has a network traffic cache that maintains the ICPIF or delay or loss values for various destinations. This capability helps performance, because each new call to a well-known destination need not wait for a probe to be admitted because the value is usually cached from a previous call.

Once the ICPIF or delay or loss value is calculated, they are stored in a fallback cache where they remain until the cache ages out or overflows. Until an entry ages out, probes are sent periodically for that particular destination. This time interval is configurable.

Media Information for Fallback Services

SIP reliable provisional responses ensure that media information is exchanged and that resource and network checks can take place prior to connecting the call. The following SIP methods have been implemented to support fallback services:

INVITE with Session Description Protocol (SDP) body. The PSTN Fallback feature provides support for a new attribute line, a=rtr, in the SDP message body. The rtr attribute enables support for invoking fallback services. The INVITE message with SDP body provides media connection information, including IP address and negotiated codec.
Provisional Acknowledgment (PRACK). PRACK allows reliable exchanges of SIP provisional responses between SIP endpoints. When the INVITE message has no SDP body, that is, no delayed media, the terminating gateway sends media information in the 183 Session Progress message and expects the SDP from the originating gateway in the PRACK message.
Conditions Met (COMET), which indicates if the preconditions for a given call have been met.

Call Admission Thresholds

User-selected thresholds allow you to configure call admission thresholds for local resources and end-to-end memory and CPU resources. You can configure two thresholds, high and low, for each global or interface-related resource. The specified call treatment is triggered when the current value of a resource goes beyond the configured high, and remains in effect until the current resource value falls below the configured low.

Call Treatment Options

You can select how the call should be treated when local resources are not available to handle the call. For example, when the current resource value for any one of the configured triggers for call threshold exceeds the configured threshold, you have the following the call treatment choices:

TDM hairpinning--Hairpins the calls through the POTS dial peer.
Reject--Disconnects the call.
Play message or tone--Plays a configured message or tone to the user.

Resource Unavailable Signaling

The Resource Unavailable Signaling feature supports autobusyout capability, which busies out channels when local resources are not available to handle the call. Autobusyout is supported on both channel-associated signaling (CAS) and primary rate interface (PRI) channels:

CAS--Uses busyout to signal local resources are unavailable.
PRI--Uses either service messages or disconnect with correct cause-code to signal resources are unavailable.

SIP Gateway Support of RSVP and TEL URL

The SIP Gateway Support of RSVP and TEL URL feature provides the following SIP enhancements:

This section describes the SIP Gateway Support of RSVP and the SIP Gateway Support of ‘tel’ URL features. SIP gateways can enable resource reservation using Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP). Resource reservation on SIP gateways synchronizes RSVP procedures with SIP call establishment procedures, ensuring that the required quality of service (QoS) for a call is maintained across the IP network.

Feature benefits include the following:

SIP Gateway Support of RSVP and TEL URL enables Quality of Service (QoS), ensuring certain bandwidth reservations for specific calls. The bandwidth reservation can be best-effort , in which case the call is completed even if the reservation is not supported by both sides or cannot be established. Or the bandwidth reservation can be required , and the call is not set up if the bandwidth reservation is not performed successfully.
With the reliable provisional response features, you can ensure that media information is exchanged and resource reservation takes place before connecting a call.
Gateways now accept TEL calls sent through the Internet, which provides interoperability with other equipment that uses TEL URL. The TEL URL feature also gives service providers a way to differentiate services based on the type of call, allowing for deployment of specific services.

RSVP

Before this feature was implemented, SIP applications over IP networks functioned as best-effort services--their media packets were delivered with no performance guarantees. However, SIP gateway support of RSVP and TEL URL ensures quality of service (QoS) by coordinating SIP call signaling and RSVP resource management. This feature reserves sufficient network-layer resources to guarantee bandwidth and bounds on packet loss, delay, and jitter; thus ensuring that the called party’s phone rings only after bandwidth required for the call has been successfully reserved.

Additionally, appropriate changes to the resources reserved for the SIP call are made when mid-call INVITE messages, requiring media change (such as a change of codec) are requested.

Synchronization with Cisco IOS QoS

A QoS module is provided that acts as a broker between the VoIP service-provider interfaces (SPIs) and the Cisco IOS RSVP subsystem. The QoS module enables the VoIP SPIs to initiate resource reservation, modify parameters of an existing reservation, and clean up the reserved resources. The QoS module then communicates the results of the operation to the RSVP subsystem.

The conditions for SIP calls using QoS are as shown in the table below.

Table 5. Conditions for SIP Calls Using QoS
SIP Call Setup	Result
Bandwidth reservation (QoS) is attempted when:	The desired (requested) QoS for the associated dial peer is set to controlled-load or guaranteed-delay .
Bandwidth reservation (QoS) is not attempted when:	The desired QoS level is set to the default of best-effort .
If bandwidth reservation (QoS) is attempted but fails, the acceptable QoS for the dial peer determines the outcome of the call: --	The call proceeds without any bandwidth reservation in place if the acceptable QoS is configured with best-effort .
	The call is released if the acceptable QoS on either gateway is configured with controlled-load or guaranteed-delay .

The desired QoS and acceptable QoS are configured through Cisco IOS software by using the req-qos and acc-qos dial-peer configuration commands, respectively.

TEL URL Format in SIP Messages

The SIP Gateway Support of RSVP and TEL URL feature also supports Telephone Uniform Resource Locators or TEL URL. Currently SIP gateways support URLs in the SIP format. SIP URLs are used in SIP messages to indicate the originator, recipient, and destination of the SIP request. However, SIP gateways may also encounter URLs in other formats, such as TEL URLs. TEL URLs describe voice call connections. They also enable the gateway to accept TEL calls sent through the Internet, and to generate TEL URLs in the request line of outgoing INVITEs requests.

SIP and TEL URL Examples

SIP URL

A SIP URL identifies a user’s address and appears similar to an email address: user@host where user is the telephone number and host is either a domain name or a numeric network address. For example, the request line of an outgoing INVITE request might appear as:


INVITE sip:5550100@
example
.com; user=phone.

The user=phone parameter distinguishes that the user address is a telephone number rather than a username.

TEL URL

A TEL URL takes the basic form of tel:telephone subscriber number , where tel requests the local entity to place a voice call, and telephone subscriber number is the number to receive the call. For example: tel:+555-0100

For more detailed information on the structure of TEL URL, see RFC 2806, URLs for Telephone Calls.

Reliability of SIP Provisional Responses

SIP reliable provisional responses ensure that media information is exchanged and resource reservation can take place prior to connecting the call. Provisional acknowledgement (PRACK) and conditions met (COMET) are two methods that have been implemented.

PRACK allows reliable exchanges of SIP provisional responses between SIP endpoints. COMET indicates if the preconditions for a given call or session have been met.

SIP Hold Timer Support

The SIP: Hold Timer Support feature provides the ability to terminate a call that has been placed on hold in excess of a configurable time period, and to thereby free up trunk resources.

Feature benefits include the following:

Improved trunk resource utilization
Improved network monitoring and management capability

The SIP: Hold Timer Support feature provides a new configurable hold timer that allows you to specify a maximum hold time of up to 2880 minutes. Prior to this feature, there was no mechanism to automatically disconnect a call that had been on hold for a set period of time. When the SIP call hold process occurs in response to ISDN Suspend and Resume messages, a media inactivity timer allows a gateway to monitor and disconnect a VoIP call if no Real-Time Control Protocol (RTCP) packets are received within a configurable time period. This timer is deactivated when a call is placed on hold and no media packets are sent. As a result, a call is potentially allowed to stay on hold indefinitely.

Note

For information on the media inactivity timer, see SIP Media Inactivity Timer and SIP: ISDN Suspend/Resume Support.

The SIP: Hold Timer Support feature resolves this problem by allowing you to configure a gateway to disconnect a held call when the hold timer is exceeded. The hold timer is activated when a gateway receives a call hold request from the other endpoint, for example, a SIP phone. SIP gateways receive notice of a call hold when the originating gateway sends a re-INVITE to the terminating gateway containing one of the following Session Description Protocol (SDP) lines: a connection IP address set to 0.0.0.0 (c=0.0.0.0), or the attribute field set to send only (a=sendonly) or to inactive (a=inactive). When the SIP phone or user-agent client cancels the hold, the originating gateway takes the call off hold by sending a re-INVITE with the attribute field (a=) set to sendrec or with the connection field (c=) set back to the actual IP address of the remote SIP entity, in place of 0.0.0.0.

The following call flows show gateway behavior upon receiving a call hold request from a SIP endpoint. In the figure below, the originating gateway sends an INVITE with an indication to place a call on hold (c=IN IP4.0.0.0.0, a=sendonly, or a=inactive in the SDP), which starts the hold timer. When the gateway on hold receives a re-INVITE with the indication to resume the call (c=IN IP4 User A or a=sendrecv), it stops the hold timer, sends a 200 OK, and resumes the call.

In the figure below, the hold timer expires, the gateway on hold tears down the call and sends a BYE request to the other end.

SIP Media Inactivity Timer

The SIP Media Inactivity Timer feature enables Cisco gateways to monitor and disconnect VoIP calls if no Real-Time Control Protocol (RTCP) packets are received within a configurable time period.

When RTCP reports are not received by a Cisco gateway, the SIP Media Inactivity Timer feature releases the hung session and its network resources in an orderly manner. These network resources include the gateway digital signal processor (DSP) and time-division multiplexing (TDM) channel resources that are utilized by the hung sessions. Because call signaling is sent to tear down the call, any stateful SIP proxies involved in the call are also notified to clear the state that they have associated with the hung session. The call is also cleared back through the TDM port so that any attached TDM switching equipment also clears its resources.

Feature benefits include the following:

Provides a mechanism for detecting and freeing hung network resources when no RTCP packets are received by the gateway.

Configure PSTN Fallback

Note

PSTN fallback configuration applies to both inbound and outbound gateways. In most networks, gateways generate calls to each other, so that every gateway is both an outgoing gateway and a terminating gateway.

Configure the destination node, which is often but not necessarily the terminating gateway, with the SAA Responder feature.
PSTN fallback configuration is done at the global level and therefore applies to all calls attempted by the gateway. You cannot selectively apply PSTN fallback only to calls initiated by specific PSTN or PBX interfaces.

Configure Reliability of SIP Provisional Responses

The following are tasks for configuring reliability of SIP provisional responses:

By default, gateways support reliable provisional responses. That is, no additional configuration tasks are necessary to enable reliable provisional responses.

However, there are instances when you may want control over the use of reliable provisional responses. For example, you may want to:

Always require the use of reliable provisional responses (use the Required header)
Never use reliable provisional responses

In these cases, there are two ways to configure reliable provisional responses:

Dial-peer mode. In this mode you can configure reliable provisional responses for the specific dial peer only. Configure with the voice-class sip rel1xx command.
SIP mode. In this mode you can configure reliable provisional responses globally. Configure with the rel1xx command.

When the voice-class sip rel1xx command under dial-peer configuration is configured, it takes precedence over the global configuration of the rel1xx command. However, if the voice-class sip rel1xx command contains the configuration of system , the gateway uses what was globally configured under the rel1xx command.

The table below shows the possible configurations achieved with the voice-class sip rel1xx and the rel1xx commands. It outlines the possible configurations on both the originating gateway and the terminating gateway, and the results of the various configurations.

Note

When configured with the supported option, the SIP gateway uses the Supported header in outgoing INVITE messages. When configured with the require option, the SIP gateway uses the Required header in outgoing INVITE messages.

Table 6. Configuration Results Based on Originating and Terminating Gateway Configurations
Originating Gateway	Terminating Gateway	Result
supported 100rel	supported 100rel	Reliable provisional responses
supported 100rel	require 100rel	Reliable provisional responses

require 100rel	require 100rel	Reliable provisional responses
require 100rel	disable	Call fails. TG sends 420 with “Unsupported: 100rel” header
disable	supported 100rel	No reliable provisional responses
disable	require 100rel	No reliable provisional responses
disable	disable	No reliable provisional responses

Step 4	timers rel1xx `number` Example: `Router(config-sip-ua)# timers rel1xx 500`	Sets the amount of time that the user agent waits before retransmitting the reliable 1xx responses. The argument is as follows: `number` --Time (in ms) to wait before retransmitting. Range: 100 to 1000. Default: 500.
Step 5	retry rel1xx `number` Example: `Router(config-sip-ua)# retries rel1xx 10`	Sets the number of times the reliable 1xx response is retransmitted to the other user agent. The argument is as follows: `number` --Number of retries. Range: 1 to 10. Default: 6.
Step 6	exit Example: `Router(config-sip-ua)# exit`	Exits the current mode.

Reenabling SIP Hold Timer Support

To configure SIP hold timer support, perform the following steps.

Note

The SIP: Hold Timer Support feature is enabled by default; no configuration tasks are required to enable this feature. This task enables the feature again if it was disabled by using the no timers hold command.

SUMMARY STEPS

enable
configure terminal
timers hold time
exit

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	enable Example: `Router> Enable`	Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2	configure terminal Example: `Router# configure terminal`	Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3	timers hold `time` Example: `Router(config)# timers hold 120`	Enables the SIP hold timer and sets the timer interval. The argument is as follows: `time` --Time, in minutes, before the gateway disconnects held calls. Range: 15 to 2880. Default: 2880.
Step 4	exit Example: `Router(config)# exit`	Exits the current mode.

Configuring the SIP Media Inactivity Timer

The SIP Media Inactivity Timer feature requires configuration of the ip rtcp report interval command and the timer receive-rtcp command to enable detection of RTCP packets by the gateway. When these commands are configured, the gateway uses RTCP report detection, rather than Real-Time Protocol (RTP) packet detection, to determine whether calls on the gateway are still active or should be disconnected. This method is more reliable because there are periods during voice calls when one or both parties are not sending RTP packets.

One common example of a voice session in which no RTP is sent is when a caller dials into a conference call and mutes his endpoint. If voice activity detection (VAD, also known as silence suppression) is enabled, no RTP packets are sent while the endpoint is muted. However, the muted endpoint continues to send RTCP reports at the interval specified by the ip rtcp report interval command.

The timer receive-rtcp value argument (or Mfactor) is multiplied with the interval that is set using the ip rtcp report interval command. If no RTCP packets are received in the resulting time period, the call is disconnected. The gateway signals the disconnect to the SIP network and the TDM network so that upstream and downstream devices can clear their resources. The gateway sends a SIP BYE to disconnect the call and sends a Q.931 DISCONNECT back to the TDM network to clear the call upon the expiration of the timer. The Q.931 DISCONNECT is sent with a Cause code value of 3 (no route). There is no Q.931 Progress Indicator (PI) value included in the DISCONNECT.

SUMMARY STEPS

enable
configure terminal
gateway
timer receive-rtcp timer
exit
ip rtcp report interval value
exit

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action Purpose

Step 1

enable

Example:


Router> Enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:


Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

gateway

Example:


Router(config)# gateway

Enables the H.323 VoIP gateway.

Step 4

timer receive-rtcp timer

Example:


Router(config-gateway)# timer receive-rtcp 100

Enables the Real-Time Control Protocol (RTCP) timer and to configure a multiplication factor for the RTCP timer interval for the SIP. The argument is as follows:

timer --Multiples of the RTCP report transmission interval. Range: 2 to 1000. Default: 5.

Step 5

exit

Example:


Router(config-gateway)# exit

Exits the current mode.

Step 6

ip rtcp report interval value

Example:


Router(config)# ip rtcp report interval 500

Sets the average reporting interval between subsequent RTCP report transmissions. The argument is as follows:

value --Average interval (in ms) for RTCP report transmissions. Range: 1 to 65535. Default: 5000.

Note

RFC 1889, RTP: A Transport Protocol for Real-Time Applications , recommends a minimum 5-second average reporting interval between successive RTCP reports. It also recommends that this interval be varied randomly. The randomization function is performed automatically and cannot be disabled. Therefore, the reporting interval does not remain constant throughout a given voice session, but its average is the specified reporting interval.

Step 7

exit

Example:


Router(config)# exit

Exits the current mode.

Verifying SIP QoS Features

To verify configuration of SIP QoS features, perform the following steps as appropriate (commands are listed in alphabetical order).

trying 500, expires 150000, connect 500, disconnect 500
comet 500, prack 500, rel1xx 500, notify 500, hold 2880 minutes

Step 13

test call fallback probe ip-address codec

Use this command to test a probe to a specific IP address and display ICPIF RTR values. Keywords and arguments are as follows:

ip-address --Target IP address.
codec --Codec type to test. Valid values are 711 (G.711 codec) and 729 (G.729 codec).

Troubleshooting Tips

Note

For general troubleshooting tips and a list of important debug commands, see the “General Troubleshooting Tips” section.

Make sure that you can make a voice call.
Make sure VoIP is working before call fallback is configured.
Use the debug ccsip events command, which includes output specific to the SIP Media Inactivity Timer feature.
Use the debug ccsip events command to show all SIP SPI events tracing.
Use the debug call fallback detail command to display details of the VoIP call fallback.
Use the debug ccsip messages command to enable CCSIP SPI messages debugging trace.
Use the debug ccsip error command to enable SIP error debugging trace.
Use the debug ccsip all command to enable all SIP debugging traces.
Use the debug rtr trace command to trace the execution of an SAA operation.
Use the debug call fallback probe command to verify that probes are being sent correctly.

Use the debug ccsip all command to enable all SIP debugging capabilities or use one of the following SIP debug commands:
- debug ccsip calls
- debug ccsip error
- debug ccsip events
- debug ccsip messages
- debug ccsip states
When terminating long distance or international calls over ISDN, the terminating switch receives information from the gateway. Generally, the information received consists of the numbering plan and the ISDN number type. As a default, the gateway tags both the numbering plan and number type as Unknown . However, this Unknown tag may cause interworking issues with some switches.

You can override the default ISDN numbering plan and number type with custom values, using the isdn map command. This command sets values on a per-number basis or on numbers that match set patterns. The following example shows an override of any plan or type with a called or calling number that begins with the numeral 1. Thus, the ISDN setup sent to the switch is used only for long distance numbers, the numbering plan is ISDN, and the type of number is National :


isdn map address 1.* plan isdn type* national

For more details on the isdn map command, see the Cisco IOS Dial Technologies Command Reference, Release 12.3.

Following is sample output for some of these commands:

Sample Output for the debug ccsip events Command

The following example trace shows a timer being set:


Router# debug ccsip events
00:04:29: sipSPICreateAndStartRtpTimer: Valid RTP/RTCP session found and CLI ena
bled to create and start the inactivity timer
00:04:29: sipSPICreateAndStartRtpTimer:Media Inactivity timer created for call.
Mfactor(from CLI): 5 RTCP bandwidth: 500
RTCP Interval(in ms): 5000
Normalized RTCP interval (in ms):25000

The following example trace shows a timer expiring:


Router# debug ccsip events
02:41:03: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Ethernet0, changed state to down
*Jan 1 02:41:34.107: sipSPIRtpDiscTimerExpired:RTP/RTCP receive timer expired. Disconnect the call.
*Jan 1 02:41:34.107: Queued event From SIP SPI to CCAPI/DNS : SIPSPI_EV_CC_CALL_DISCONNECT
*Jan 1 02:41:34.107: CCSIP-SPI-CONTROL: act_active_disconnect

Note

The timer receive-rtcp command configures a media activity timer that is common to both H.323 and SIP. If set, it affects both H.323 and SIP calls.
