<div dir="ltr">Matt,<div><br></div><div>I'd like to point out three things in response to your comment:</div><div><ul><li>LUA scripting support recently moved to:</li><ul><li><a href="https://communities.cisco.com/community/developer/collaboration/call-control/uc-manager-sip">https://communities.cisco.com/community/developer/collaboration/call-control/uc-manager-sip</a><br>
<br></li></ul><li>Cisco themselves, plus highly qualified non-Cisco people, just like this mailing list, provide support on that forum.</li><ul><li>Shout out to <a href="https://communities.cisco.com/people/mstover">Mark Stover</a> who is a top contributor on LUA scripting support and all around excellent SIP resource<br>
<br></li></ul><li>A distributed support model has many benefits: free, crowd sourced solutions and diverse problem exposure; to name three</li><ul><li>Shout out to the excellent cisco-voip members and Cisco Support/Communities contributors</li>
</ul></ul><div>Therefore, it is my opinion, that Cisco not supporting LUA scripting via TAC, as does ACME, is not a bad thing, rather, we have a large support community of Cisco technical resources and non-Cisco technical resources to call upon and ask for guidance. And it works quite well.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is LUA the hot topic on any given Cisco forum? No, I'll admit that. But, it's also very new to CUCM and to UC Engineers. If we shy away from using LUA because of its lack of official TAC support, then we'll never gain the exposure and knowledge required, to have our support communities flourish.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>For reference, I have used LUA once to solve a VCS to VzB outbound calling issue where the SDP was too large (If I recall it was over 1200 bytes). Call flow was: VCS ---SIP--> CUCM ---SIP---> SBC ---SIP---> VzB</div>
<div><br></div><div>I chose to solve it at the CUCM level because I had LUA there to help me. Had Cisco simply said "Why give them the option of LUA if we cannot officially support it?" Then I would have had a no choice, and my solution may have never worked. I appreciate that it's there and don't look negatively on the feature because of the lack of official TAC support.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Disclaimer: I may have been standing on a soap box when I typed this, but I have returned to slouching in my computer chair.</div><div><br></div><div>Respectfully,</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>

<span lang="EN-AU">There are Acme guides for CUCM up through 9.x. Acme is the only non-Cisco SBC blessed by Cisco for CUCM, CVP, UCCE. They’ve even blessed it as a CUSP replacement as it can fill both CUBE/CUSP requirements in CVP/UCCE environments on one box. Much of it had to do with customer frustration of ISR scalability as well as Acme’s High Availability being much more robust and resilient.
