160 Alternative Call Routing for Network Bandwidth Management

Event number 1 pertains to the originally dialed call that experiences low

bandwidth or unacceptable QoS conditions. Event number 2 pertains to

the alternately routed call.

Figure 65

Example of Alternative Call Routing for NBWM in operation

There are multiple choices of alternate routes provided for the overﬂowed

calls. Network administrators who do not want calls to be blocked, but

have a limited amount of bandwidth available, want to overﬂowcalls

to conventional trunks, (Public Switched TelephoneNetwork [PSTN] or

TIE/Meridian Customer Deﬁned Network [MCDN]). This feature allows

calls to be routed by overﬂowing them, trading off the capital cost of WAN

bandwidth against the incremental cost of overﬂowed calls.

Nortel recommends that this feature be used with DID (Direct Inward Dial)

numbers. This allows calls that are rerouted over the PSTN to ring the

intended telephone directly. It is possible to use this feature without having

DID,so that when the call gets rerouted over the PSTN the call reaches an

attendant console or a speciﬁc telephone.

When there is insufﬁcient bandwidth for a station-to-station call, the

Alternative Call Routing for NBWM feature uses a trunk for a call which

would not normally use a trunk.

Prior to the introduction of the Alternative Call Routing for NBWM feature,

there was no alternate routing mechanism for the following types of

station-to-station calls:

•Branch ofﬁce calls to or from the main ofﬁce

•Branch ofﬁce calls to or from another branch ofﬁce controlled by the

same main ofﬁce

ATTENTION

The term branch ofﬁce refers to Media Gateway1000B (MG 1000B) and

Survivable Remote Gateway(SRG) systems inthis document.
