System Release 6.1 CompactPCI for Windows

Release Update 61
1.19 New QoS Alarms for RTCP and RTP Inactivity
Dialogic
®
IPT Boards monitor for various Quality of Service (QoS) alarms such as
excessive average jitter, percentage of lost packets, and RTP packet latency. With the
Service Update, two new QoS alarms for Dialogic
®
IPT Boards are provided:
QOSTYPE_RTCPTIMEOUT
QoS alarm for Real Time Control Protocol (RTCP) inactivity
QOSTYPE_RTPTIMEOUT
QoS alarm for Real Time Protocol (RTP) inactivity
Note: The two new QoS alarms are supported on Dialogic
®
IPT Boards only.
The purpose of these alarms is to indicate when transmission of RTCP and RTP packets
from the remote endpoint has stopped completely (i.e., when the IP network fails), as
opposed to an intermittent interruption (which can be monitored through the lost packets
alarm, for example).
If an RTCP or RTP timeout alarm is received, the application can take action to release
SIP/H.323 channels that remain “hung,” without having to restart the application to
recover. The application is responsible for assessing the RTCP and RTP timeout situation
and determining the appropriate response. The timeout values are configurable.
1.19.1 Implementing QoS Alarms
The following sections provide guidelines for implementing QoS alarms in your
application. Either the Dialogic
®
Global Call API or Dialogic
®
IP Media Library API can be
used for this purpose.

• Implementing QoS Alarms Using Dialogic

1.19.1.1 Implementing QoS Alarms Using Dialogic
®
Global Call API
The following steps provide guidelines for implementing QoS alarms in your application
using the Dialogic
®
Global Call API. For details on the Dialogic
®
IP Media Library data
structures that are mentioned, see the Dialogic
®
IP Media Library API Library Reference.
For details on the Global Call functions that are mentioned, see the Dialogic
®
Global Call
API Library Reference. In addition, the Dialogic
®
Global Call IP Technology Guide
provides information about using Global Call to implement QoS alarms.
1. Optional steps before enabling a QoS alarm:
a. Call gc_GetAlarmParm( ) to retrieve the current settings of QoS parameters on
the specified IP channel.
b. If you need to change current QoS parameter values, set up the
IPM_QOS_THRESHOLD_INFO structure with desired values. This structure
contains one or more IPM_QOS_THRESHOLD_DATA structures. Note that you
must explicitly specify the value for every parameter in the
IPM_QOS_THRESHOLD_DATA structure, even if you want to use the default
