Measure intranet QoS 141
In the context of a Meridian 1/CS 1000M system with IP Trunk 3.01 (and
later),
Figure 27 "Relationship between users and services" (page 141)
shows the relationship between users and services.
Figure 27
Relationship between users and services
From the diagram, it can be seen that there are two interfaces to consider:
• The Meridian 1/CS 1000M system, including the IP Trunk 3.01 (and
later) nodes, interfaces with the end users; voice services offered by the
system must meet user-oriented QoS objectives.
• The IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) nodes interface with the intranet; the
service provided by the intranet is "best-effort delivery of IP packets", not
"guarantee QoS for real-time voice transport." IP Trunk 3.01 (and later)
translates the QoS objectives set by the end-users into IP-oriented QoS
objectives. The guidelines call these objectives intranet QoS objectives.
The IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node can be enabled to monitor the intranet’s
QoS. In this mode, two parameters, the receive fallback threshold and the
transmit fallback threshold, on the IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) node dictate the
minimum QoS level of the IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) network. The fallback
thresholds are configured on a per-site pair basis.
