You can prevent a PG from sending an excessive number, or avalanche, of media inactivity notifications to the PGC in a short period of time. Such an avalanche can severely degrade the performance of the PGC. By default, all media inactivity notifications are sent immediately from the PG to the PGC. When an upstream device in the network fails, all existing terminations in the PG report media inactivity at about the same time. You can configure H.248 notification behavior to regulate the flow of notifications sent to the PGC.
Regulated notification is activated either by a request from the PGC or by CLI commands. When you choose regulated notification you can explicitly configure the frequency for notifications of media inactivity events as follows:
Notification History—The Notification Behavior Package only limits the sending of notifications to the PGC, not the occurrences of the event. We recommend you enable the recording of all media inactivity notifications for future retrieval and, optionally, request that the inactivity notifications time stamps are also enabled for future retrieval.
