>>>>>> We have implemented a new SIP solution with Level 3 and found that we have outbound calling failover issues. When a CUBE loses its ability to talk to its Level 3 Peer, but can still talk to CUCM outbound calls will still connect to the CUBE, but fail connecting to Level 3. In turn CUCM still thinks the call is connected since the CUCM SIP trunk remains up to the CUBE.
