[cisco-voip] Sip design question

I'm also deep into CUBE at the moment, so I find this discussion helpful
for me as well, though I'm not doing HA, and I'm on an ISR G2.  But I'm
interested nonetheless.

It appears to me that there is confusion between which flavor of CUBE
you're running Ryan, and which document you should be looking at: CUBE or
CUBE Enterprise.

So, I'd like to clarify a few things first, because I don't know if we're
comparing apples to apples here.

CUBE vs CUBE Enterprise vs CUBE Service Provider vs Virtual CUBE: what's
the difference, and which ones are active and which ones are "dumped?"

IOS vs IOS-XE: what's the difference when it comes to CUBE
feature/functionality/command syntax?

What are the core documents we should be using for this product?

So far, I have been using this new and improved CUBE Configuration Guide
(Again, I only deal with IOS and ISR G2):
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/voice/cube/configuration/cube-book.html

Previously, I was using this one.  Not to be confused with the above
document, despite it having the same name, just note the URL difference:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/voice/cube/configuration/guide/vb_book/vb_book.html

Then there's the IOS Voice Command Reference for details on specific
commands:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/voice/command/reference/vr_book.html

I don't see a similar IOX-XE Voice Command Reference, but there is this
page with one or two helpful links:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/voice/config_library/xe-3s/cube-xe-3s-library.html

My assumption right now is, CUBE on a 4k router running IOS-XE is no
different than CUBE on IOS on an ISR G2.  The first link, the CUBE Book,
should be used for either platform and is just plain CUBE. Not Enterprise,
not SP, just CUBE.

I think once we understand an agree to these things, we can work to
addressing any configuration or feature issue we may pose to one another on
this list.

And one additional comment/question to Ryan is: why the need for SDP Pass
thru?  Are you doing Video through your CUBE? If not, I think you would
just need codec transparent.
