</div>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<div>

<p class=MsoNormal>I have a semi-complex call flow which at some point, is
invoking a transcoding resource.&nbsp; The problem is, I am not expecting to
need a transcoder in this situation, and it's exhausting my transcoder pool for
calls that actually need them.<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>

<div>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>

<div>

<p class=MsoNormal>Call flow involves a 3rd-party H.323 IVR behind an IP-IP-GW
configured as an H.323 GW with MTP&nbsp;in CUCM 4.1(3).&nbsp; This was
necessary because the IVR's only useful transfer method is H.450.2, and we were
able to use the IPIPGW to convert that to something that CUCM could deal with.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>

<p class=MsoNormal>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>

<div>

<p class=MsoNormal>I believe that all legs of this call are configured for
g.711ulaw, including all dial-peers on the IPIPGW, which is why I don't know
why the transcoder is getting invoked.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>If anyone has any insight as to where the transcoder is
creeping in, or can give me a clue how to track it down better, I will
appreciate it very much.<o:p></o:p></p>
