Configuring Latch Deadlock and Media Inactivity Detection

The PGC can request to be notified by the VPG when a latching deadlock or media inactivity exists on a PGCP gate. You can configure latching deadlock and media inactivity detection parameters for use by the VPG when it monitors media traffic that is flowing through the gate.

Latch deadlock detection is defined in Gateway Control Protocol: Application Data Inactivity Package, ITU-T Recommendation H.248.40, January, 2007.

Step-by-Step Procedure

To configure parameters for latching deadlock and media inactivity detection:

  1. Access the configuration of your VPG and specify data-inactivity-detection.
    [edit services pgcp]
    user@host#edit gateway vpg-1 data-inactivity-detection
  2. Configure the number of seconds before the VPG begins checking for media inactivity on new gates for which there is a latching signal.
    [edit services pgcp gateway vpg-1 data-inactivity-detection]
    user@host#set latch-deadlock-delay 10
  3. Configure the number of seconds before the VPG begins checking for media inactivity on new gates that do not have a latching signal.
    [edit services pgcp gateway vpg-1 data-inactivity-detection]
    user@host#set inactivity-delay 10
  4. Configure the duration of inactivity detection checks that the VPG performs on a gate. If no media packets are received during a check, the VPG sends the PGC a quality (QUA) alert, ADID alert, or service change notification. If media packets are received, the timer is reset and checking continues. This parameter applies to all gates, regardless of whether there is a latching signal for the gate.
    [edit services pgcp gateway vpg-1 data-inactivity-detection]
    user@host#set inactivity-duration 60
  5. Request a service change to take gates with latch deadlocks or media inactivity out of service, dropping all packets for the gates. Specify whether to notify the PGC with error code 906 (loss of lower layer connectivity) or 910 (media capability failure).
    [edit services pgcp gateway vpg-1 data-inactivity-detection]
    user@host#edit report-service-change
    [edit services pgcp gateway vpg-1 data-inactivity-detection report-service-change]
    user@host#set service-change-type forced-910
  6. Configure the VPG to stop inactivity detection when a gate action is set to drop. Use this option to handle calls that are placed on hold. When calls are resumed, the PG starts the delay timer and resumes data inactivity detection. By default, inactivity detection continues when a gate option is ready to drop
    [edit services pgcp gateway vpg-1 data-inactivity-detection]
    user@host#set stop-detection-on-drop
  7. Specify that a notification (or service change) occur immediately when no media packets are detected during the initial checking delay period (latch-deadlock-delay or inactivity-delay). By default, inactivity is not reported until the delay period and an inactivity duration period have elapsed.
    [edit services pgcp gateway vpg-1 data-inactivity-detection]
    user@host#set send-notification-on-delay
