Forwarding mode (tunnel/bridge) considerations with VOIP

  • 1.  Forwarding mode (tunnel/bridge) considerations with VOIP

    Posted Mar 01, 2017 07:40 AM

    Hello,

     

    I'm planning a VOIP-focused deployment, and had some questions around the limitations of each forwarding mode.

     

    I've been looking around the forums here for a while but can only find very outdated information as to what is/isn't supported for each forwarding mode. Is there a more up-to-date summary available that anyone can point me to?

     

    Many thanks,

    If you want detailed voice statistics, I would not consider bridge mode. There is very little visibility in that mode.

    Thanks Colin. I know Lync/SFB Heuristics isn't supported on bridge mode either (but we aren't just doing Lync). Other than statistics/visibility, are there are any direct, service-affecting downsides to bridge mode? The customer may push back otherwise, as tunnel mode will require more controllers to be purchased, or for traffic to "trombone" the WAN links.
