Review Microsoft guidance regarding Media Bypass http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412740.aspx

Straight forward in a centralised (single site) topology without WAN links.
More complicated in a distributed topology with one or more branch - check the following:
• Media Bypass shall only be utilised between WAN sites without bandwidth constrains
• Media Bypass and Call Admission Control (CAC) are mutually exclusive
Media Bypass mandatorily requires all media to be represented by a single IP address – the reason why in
the above example a Media Termination Point (MTP) has to be inserted.
Direct SIP Trunk Characteristics
SfB requires Early Offer inbound/outbound

• CUCM SIP profile setting:
Media resource still has to be allocated (single media address in SfB GW definition)
• Trunk setting:
As discussed on following slide, requires multiple SIP trunks and as such, multiple incoming ports
• SIP Trunk Security Profile:
Multiple Site Example (SfB to Cisco UCM)
Site 1
Site 2
Site 1
Central
Central
Site 2
SfB Front-End
Mediation
server pool
To keep media local to a site each site requires a local media resource
Is the source IP range
Multiple sites require multiple trunks for site 1 same as
… and multipledestination
MRGs, MRGLsIP range
and media resources
… and multiple SIP secuirty profiles, because unique identification of each trunk on Cisco UCM based on the signalling port
(UCM side trunk identification based on peer IP address and local signalling port)

Multiple Site Example
Site 1
Site 2
Site 1
Site 2
SfB Front-End
Mediation
server pool
CUCM selects trunk to SfB based on called destination (+E.164 prefix), but SfB client moved to other site
MTP (assumed) local to SfB client selected
Alternate media IP definition in SfB trunk configured not in same site as SfB client -> no media bypass
Mediation server in media path
Media hairpins through central site
Multiple Site Example
Site 1
Site 2
Site 1
Site 2
SfB Front-End
Mediation
server pool
False assumption about SfB client location could lead to even worse media path:
Unified CM selects trunk with MTP local to (assumed) location of SfB client: Site 2
SfB rejects media bypass, because MTP not local to IP address of SfB client
Mediation server in media path, Media hairpins through remote and central site
Dial Plan Considerations
Addressing Requirements
Explicit (deterministic) routing requires split address ranges
• +E.164 prefixes per call control
• Ideal, but unlikely
In reality +E.164 addresses distributed between call control domains

• Complex (worst case: per destination) routing needs to be maintained
• Number hunting can be used; but risk loops and complex troubleshooting

Calling Video Devices from SfB Client
• For each shared video device a contact can be created in AD, mapping the AD attribute <msRTCSIP-
PrimaryUserAddress> to the endpoints SIP address.
• Note; prefix the address with sip:
• SfB users will be able to search for any video endpoint, add them to the buddy list and call them when needed.

• Full Contact Search available to each end-user regardless of whether they exist on Cisco or Microsoft
• The end-user is not aware what back end the buddy resides on
• Temporary Presence subscription’s not working in both directions (during search the user’s
presence is “not available”) unless user is added to the buddy list
• Once added to the buddy list, users can exchange presence and instant messaging
• Recommended to utilise “msRTCSIP-primaryuseraddress” attribute as IM contact address
• LDS supported for complex AD scenario
Migration – Quick Start Guide:
① Prior to any migration, set Max Contacts/Watchers to ⑤ Run once from any Front-End Server
unlimited on UCM IM&P DisableAccount-exe –s/{AD server} –f/{Input file} –I/debug –
This is to ensure all contact lists are successfully migrated r/NORMAL
② Provision Migrating users on UCM IM&P ⑥ Validate that the account update has propagated to
OCS/Lync
③ Use the OCS/Lync tool to backup migrated users’s
contact lists ⑦ Run from one Front-End Server in each pool:
OCS/Lync 2010 use dpimpexp.exe, Lync 2013 use Export- DisableAccount.exe –s/{DB Instance} –I/debug –r/NORMAL

⑧ Import contacts into UCM IM/P using BAT tool
④ Run once from any Front-End Server
⑨ Reset max contacts/watchers limit on UCM IM&P after

⑩ Migrated users now able to log into into UCM IM&P

Business to Business (Interdomain Federation) – XMPP Cloud
• Connection lost under load
Connection are lost when Lync XMPP Gateway is under load. The gateway will close the connection, log that there was an error talking to the far
side but give no explanation as to why. Under modicum of load (around 90 messages/second), connections can be lost as far as every 2.3
minutes. Increasing the load to around 250 messages/second connections can be dropped every 10 seconds. This leads to delays in delivery
and outright packet loss.
• No id-on-xmppAddr support (RFC3920)
The Lync XMPP Gateway does not look for id-on-xmppAddr in the certificate. Information will be ignored.
• No presence update after a subscription
Intermittent: Directly after the Lync contact accepts the Webex Messenger user subscription, an unavailable is sent from the Lync contact, no
available presence is sent until the Lync contact resigns in.
• Messages routed to wrong client
Lync XMPP Gateway does not follow the XMPP rules for addressing of messages which can lead to messages unexpected delivered to the
wrong client in a multiple client per user situation.
• Webex Messenger user showing as offline when online
Lync XMPP Gateway does not correctly track presence with multiple clients logged in for a single user. If a user has two clients connected and
the Lync user sess him as online, then logs out one of the clients the Lync user will see Webex Messenger user as offline.
• No Group Chat support
Lync XMPP Gateway does not understand MUC or Group Chat protocol. Lync users can not join or be invited to a group chat session.
