[cisco-voip] ACME Packet

[Mark Holloway]

I haven't used PGW myself but isn't it a SIP to SS7 gateway only?  The Acme SBC's are typically deployed in high availability pairs and there is stateful replication happening between the two nodes in the pair. Failover is 100ms. CDR's remain intact during a failover as well.

The PGW2200 is a very resilient platform and CCM Session Manager Edition looks to be the replacement path but CCM SME does *not* failover gracefully like its predecessor since if the primary cluster dies, all calls go with it. It's a real problem when there's 2k calls on the wire. :(
