[cisco-voip] Multicast MOH Design

[CarlosOrtiz at bayviewfinancial.com]

I currently have one office that I setup with  2 different MOH streams. 
One of them is being streamed from the local flash (multicast spoof) and 
the other is being unicast to the other group members (only about 5 
people).  I now have gotten a request for 3 MOH streams and it is a much 
bigger office.  That is why I am asking about streaming all sources from a 
centralized location.  I assume this will work but just wanted to see if 
anyone had any pointers.

I have finally sorted multicast MOH using the branch flashes with 
multicast to the pstn gateway etc etc without using the “require mtp tick 
box on the ccm gateway config”  but cannot help you with MOH across MPLS 
as the networks we have as MPLS option here normally don’t have 
multicasting enabled and because bandwidth is so costly it is not viable.
 
However – if you need advice to get it done streaming at branches and 
having multicast MOH everywhere – let me know

Does anyone have a setup where they have a multicast enabled MPLS network 
that is set up to do MOH to the remote sites?   

I am thinking of setting up multiple multicast enabled audio sources and 
streaming them to the remote sites.    Each remote site may need 2-4 
different streams because different business groups want different MOH. 
This would eliminate local streaming from flash because when in SRST the 
local flash MOH is used and would be incorrectly played for all business 
groups. 

Any thoughts or known gotchas would be appreciated. 

Carlos
