[cisco-voip] Digit stripping on a Route-Group...

[Jonathan Charles]

I am not seriously looking to DO anything... I am proposing an idea
and seeing if it is viable.

The goal is maximum redundancy and to that end, I was thinking running
MGCP and H.323 on the same gateway. If MGCP fails, go with H.323
(while MGCP is active, all the H.323 commands are disabled anyway).

To implement this on the CCM side, I was going to put the gateways in
the system twice, once as MGCP, once as H.323. Then create two
route-groups, one for each and then list the MGCP first int he RL.

The theory seems sound, but will MGCP fail enough for it to go back
into H.323 mode? Obviously, if MGCP is down from the CCM side, CCM
will work its way down the route-list to the H.323 entry and try that.
But inbound calls may not be aware that MGCP has failed enough and
won't try H.323 (as a guess... I am not sure if this is going to
work).
