RLC Installation and Administration Guide 75
June 2005 Planning for RLC installation
5 Run this stage with a small number of users at first. Before applying VoIP
mode to your entire remote network, you must ensure that one of the
following is true:
„
Your IP network can handle the addition of remote network traffic.
„
You can identify the kinds of configuration adjustments you need to
make to the IP network so that it can handle the additional traffic.
When you are satisfied with the IP network performance, continue with
QoS Transitioning Technology implementation.
Implementing QoS Transitioning Technology
To implement the QoS Transitioning Technology, you must understand
characteristics of your IP network, such as:
„
when the network experiences busy times
„
how much traffic the network processes (during normal and busy traffic
periods)
„
how to evaluate and adjust your network’s QoS
Consult with your data network administrator. Refer also to the Remote Gateway
9100 Series Network Engineering Guidelines (NTP 555-8421-103). Refer to
“Related information products” on page xxii for information on obtaining this
document.
Once you understand this information, determine the QoS settings that you
want, then configure them on each RLC port. For instructions, refer to
“Configuring QoS” on page 211.
If IP mode is not the first stage in your network implementation, run this stage
with a minimal number of users until you are sure that QoS on your IP network
is acceptable. When you are satisfied with QoS transitioning performance,
deploy the capability to the entire network.
If you are configuring QoS Transitioning Technology for Remote Gateway 911x
series units, on the RLC you must configure at least one DSP device with the
DSP load “911X”. Each DSP device configured with the DSP load “911X”
supports four modem channels.
