9.8(1)

The Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) Local Handling in ISDN User Part (ISUP), PRI, and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) feature is introduced on the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software.

This document describes the MLPP Local Handling in ISUP, PRI, and SIP feature.

This feature is described in the following sections:

•Feature Description

•Supported Standards, MIBs, and RFCs

•Provisioning Tasks

•Provisioning Examples

•Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request

•Glossary

Feature Description

This feature describes the local handling functionalities for MLPP in protocol ISUP, PRI, and SIP. The PGW 2200 Softswitch handles the preemption of calls as the MLLP's supplementary service. A new value, 2, is set to the existing property MlppSupport in order to enable local handling support for MLPP.

Benefits

This feature provides the following benefits:

•Enables PGW to maintain MLPP information, such as precedence level, MLPP domain associated with the calls, and so on, in the circuit.

•Performs preemptions in case of congestion.

•Reserves circuits for reuse.

Note No preemption is done for SIP side based on network resource limitation or user agent busy condition, but the preemption will be done in case of reaching call limit configured for SIP, ISUP and PRI trunk group.

Prerequisites

The Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch must be running software Release 9.8(1). The prerequisites for Release 9.8(1) can be found in Release Notes for the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.8(1) at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/pgw/9/release/note/rn981.html

Restrictions or Limitations

The MLPP Local Handling in ISUP, PRI, and SIP feature has the following limitations:

•Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch cannot map an MLPP User Indicator that it receives in the Optional Backward Call Indicator (OBCI) Information Element (IE) of an Address Complete Message (ACM) for SIP-to-ISUP calls during preemption.

•The preempted circuit cannot be applied in a high-prority preempting call unless the release process from both of the legs is completed in the preempted call.

•If preemption fails for any reason, the high-priority preempting call will not look for any free circuit that becomes available during the preemption process, or search for the call in order to preempt again.

•MLPP preemption cannot be triggered unless all the possible routes in the route list are exhausted and the cause analysis for internal failures is completed. Preemption cannot be triggered if an external cause is received from the network because external causes have a higher priority than internal causes.

•No action will be taken in MLPP local handling when PGW receives a release message with the causes "User Busy" or "No Circuit Available" from the destination exchange.

•No particular algorithm is used to select a low-priority call for preemption, but the search process is always start from a priority 4 call and go up to 1 level below the current preempting call priority.

•If the preempting call has both the originating and terminating call legs on the same trunk group, the originating bearer channel will be reserved for use in the preempting call.

•If switchover occurs before preemption, the MLPP preempting call will not be replicated to the standby PGW before the call replies. In addition, the preempting call will also be lost.

•Machine Congestion Level (MCL) and license recjection have higher priority over MLPP calls. A MLLP call can be rejected due to MCL or license rejection. No modification is allowed in PGW handling of calls here.

•PGW does not support MLPP local handling in SIP Refer methods.

Provisioning Tasks

To use this feature, perform the following provsioning task:

Configure PGW to enable the MLPP local handling support. This means that MlppSupport must be set to 2 on the PRI trunk group, as shown in the following example:
prov-add:trnkgrpprop:name="233", mlppsupport="2"
prov-ed:profile:name="sip-prof1", mlppsupport="2"
prov-ed:profile:name="sip-prof1", mlppnamespace="q735"
prov-add:trnkgrpprop:name="233", mlppni="049"
Provisioning Examples

This section provides provisioning examples pertaining to this feature. You can find additional provisioning examples for the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software in the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.8 Provisioning Guide, which is available at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/pgw/9.8/Provisioning/Guide/prvgde98.html
