In serial connection KR adds a delay of about 65 ms per default, but can be tuned down to about 18 ms at the cost of performance (see below). In parallel connection KR adds no delay.

RVA download time (unloaded MGU)

This time is dependent not only on MGU load, but also on network and web-server conditions.

RVA activation time (unloaded MGU)

To activate media files takes about 12s/Mbyte before they are active and can be used. For a maximum file size installation, installation time is about 6-7 minutes. During activation, RVA feature is disabled (RVA sessions will be rejected by MGU).

Max RVA sessions

195 simultaneous sessions if only running RVA in MSP

Supported file formats

- RIFF (little-endian) data, WAV audio, ITU-T G.711 A-law, mono 8000 Hz

- RIFF (little-endian) data, WAV audio, ITU-T G.711 µ-law, mono 8000 Hz

Voice over IP

Note: Only symmetric Voice traffic are supported. Receiving and sending channel must use the same type of codec and packetization interval.

Crypto Suites

(SRTP)

The following encryption / authentication combos are supported:

1) AES-128 / HMAC-SHA1-80

2) AES-128 / HMAC-SHA1-32

3) AES-128

4) AES-192 / HMAC-SHA1-80

5) AES-192 / HMAC-SHA1-32

7) AES-256 / HMAC-SHA1-32

Fax PassThrough

Switching on detection of CNG, CED ,V.21 flags, ANSam ANS/, COT V8bis, V22 and Bell 103 tones.

Max RTP sessions

Up to 290 sessions if only RTP is running in MSP, but depends heavily on settings and speech characteristics.

Note: With "clear channel" max RTP sessions could be up to 404, but lower with other codecs. See Table 11 for a few examples.

Time to establish new RTP session

To allocate and start a new RTP session takes less than 30 ms

Time to close RTP session

To stop and free RTP session takes less than 20 ms

In the following table, Max RTP sessions for various settings STD = Standard EC with default settings, DFE = Dual Filter EC with default settings (EC type and settings is configurable through TDM MO)

Note: In density figures above it has not been included the effect of using "Silence Suppression", which when enabled might lower DSP load and thus increasing channel density.

In table below, the latency on VoIP channels is stated for different codecs and packetization intervals. Latency includes the path from TDM to VoIP encoding to packet network to decoding to TDM, i.e. GW to GW VoIP delay. Latency has been measured with fixed jitter buffer of same size as packetization interval. These are minimum latencies to be expected in GW to GW calls, and external packet network and endpoints might increase latency. Also use of encryption increases latency slightly.

Network Redundancy

Table 14. Network Redundancy fail over-time

Fail over time (Subnet Redundancy)

Fail over time will be approximately 8 seconds

Fail over time (Switched redundancy)

Fail over time is about 1 second when the active link fails. Fail over occurs also if the subnet's gateway is not reachable and no control traffic packets are received on the LAN port. The fail over time in these case will be approximately 8 seconds.
