Introduction to traffic engineering

Last Updated : May 03, 2017 |
In its most general sense, an Avaya Aura® enterprise solution consists of a network of various applications. Currently, the most prominent application is Communication Manager. Other applications include

  • Experience Portal (Voice Portal)

  • Expanded Meet-Me Conferencing

  • Avaya Aura® Conferencing

  • Avaya Aura® Messaging

  • Voice Recording

The various applications supported by an enterprise can be interconnected in various ways. Circuit-switched trunking (TDM trunking) and H.323 trunking (IP trunking) are still widely used in the field today.

The interconnection of enterprise elements via SIP uses Avaya Aura® Session Manager, which controls the call routing between all SIP-enabled elements in an enterprise. Session Manager can also function as a registrar for SIP stations.

The primary purpose of this section is to provide methodologies by which the traffic-sensitive components in an Avaya communication enterprise can be properly engineered. Special emphasis is placed on elements associated with the most recent Session Manager and Communication Manager releases.
