Figure 11: Configuring a pipe
Pipes may be shared between one or more links. This is used to model the situation where a site
communicates with several other sites over the same broadband connection to the Internet.
Each link may have up to two pipes associated with it. This is used to model the situation where two
sites each have their own broadband connection to the Internet. In this case, a link between the two
sites must go through both broadband connections, and this is modeled using two pipes, one for each
connection.
Calls between zones or subzones consume bandwidth from each zone and any pipes on the link
between them.
When a Border Controller is neighbored with another Gatekeeper or Border Controller, the neighbor is
placed in its own zone. This allows you to control the bandwidth used by calls to and from endpoints
controlled by the other Gatekeeper. Sometimes you may place and receive calls to Gatekeepers you are
not neighbored with (see
URI Dialing
, section 10). These Gatekeepers, and any unregistered endpoints
reached by dialing their IP address, are placed in the Default Zone.
8.3.
Insufficient Bandwidth
8.3.1.
Insufficient bandwidth
If bandwidth control is in use, there may be situations when there is insufficient bandwidth available to
place a call at the requested rate. By default (and assuming that there is
some
bandwidth still available)
the Border Controller will still attempt to connect the call, but at a reduced bandwidth - known as
downspeeding .
You can prevent the downspeeding of calls by navigating to
Border Controller Configuration
>
Gatekeeper
and in the
Downspeeding
section, clearing the relevant boxes (see Figure 12). You can also
control whether or not calls are downspeeded through the following commands:
xConfiguration Gatekeeper Downspeed PerCall Mode: <On/Off>
xConfiguration Gatekeeper Downspeed Total Mode: <On/Off>
If downspeeding has been disallowed and there is insufficient bandwidth to place the call at the
originally requested rate, the call will not be placed.
