For trunk traffic greater than 4843 CCS, allow 34 CCS per trunk.
Calculate number of IP trunk cards required
The number of IP trunk cards is not just a function of the total number of
ports required. It is important to determine if an IP Trunk 3.01 (and later)
node has enough CPU capacity to handle the expected call volume.
As the size of an IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) implementation increases,
real-time engineering becomes more important. The IP trunk cards that are
acting as the Leader card or DCHIP card have a limited amount of CPU
resources. For nodes with more than four cards and/or in large networks,
such as those with more than 30 QoS endpoints, the CPU capacity
(real-time capacity) must be considered.
Recommendation
Nortel strongly recommends implementing suitable QoS mechanisms on any IP
network carrying VoIP.
Leader and DCHIP card standard configuration rules
1. Leader 0 with no DCHIP and all voice ports configured. Leader 1 with
DCHIP supporting all Followers. This configuration should be suitable
for most sites.
2. Leader 0 with no DCHIP and all voice ports configured. Leader 1 with
DCHIP supporting half of the Followers. A Follower card with DCHIP
