BCMS/CMS Tracking in a Call Vectoring Environment

Also, when multiple split queuing is involved, R2 CMS tracks an outflow in those splits to which the call queues and from which it eventually dequeues without being answered there. In effect, then, R2 CMS tracks an outflow in the same situations where R3 CMS tracks a dequeue.

Examples of Split Flow Tracking

The following sections provide some examples of tracking in R3 CMS, R2 CMS, and BCMS. Each section first presents a scenario of Call Vectoring events. The scenario is then followed by a table in which the tracking for the various splits involved is recorded. Following each ‘‘tracking table,’’ an explanation of the tracking procedure is provided.

The scenarios presented include the following:

Call answered by a primary split

Call answered by a nonprimary split

Call abandoned

Call answered by a primary split after a route to VDN

Call answered by a nonprimary split after a route to VDN

Call answered after a route to split

NOTE:

Inflows, outflows, and dequeues are not tracked for splits administered by the converse on split command. However, if a call is answered both by a converse split and (subsequently) by a nonconverse split, an ‘‘answer’’ is tracked for each split. However, a call is really considered ‘‘answered’’only when it is answered by a nonconverse split. Therefore, traffic measurements for converse splits should be used only to measure converse split traffic and not to calculate the total number of calls.

Call Answered by a Primary Split. The following scenario involves a call answered by the primary split. The scenario is as follows:

1.Call comes into a VDN whose vector queues the call to splits 1, 2 and 3.

2.Call is answered in split 1.
