Multi-home multi-Communication Manager system

The multi-home system is a distributed version of the home/edge system where the edge is a separate host from the home servers, which are deployed for the user base. The home servers provide service to endpoints and are associated with one or more Communication Manager hosts. The ethernet topology is orthogonal to the SIP topology. There are no restrictions or requirements on the network beyond existing preferred network setup for VOIP. The only area where SIP is concerned is access to external domains. Figure 50: Multi-homemulti-Communication Manager configuration on page 141 shows an ALG between the Edge node and the service-provider cloud.

The ALG and/or the Edge node may be deployed in the customer's DMZ if they so wish. The multi-home distributed network provides scalability through user distribution, i.e. a user has only one home. To increase the size of the entire system, more home nodes are added until the edge reaches maximum capacity. Any calls that are not to a user local to the home of the originating caller are routed through the edge node.

Starting in release 2.1, any SES node on the network may be a duplicated system. There are no constraints on which nodes must be duplicated. For example, the edge and one home may be duplicated systems and the others may not be; it makes no difference because the node is one logical entity.
