Do we have something to program to have anti tromboning active on MCD 6.0?

Maybe Route Optimization, but from what I read it doesn't seem to do anti tromboning.
Thanks.
 
It's only an issue if you have redundant routes between sites.

I don't bother.

What is the setup?

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
 
Here is an example.

All PBX are in a cluster with Ip Trunks
PBX A MXEIII rls 6.0
PBX B MXeServer rls 6.0
Nupoint connect to PBX B

Someone call PBX A on a PRI Trunk. (1234)
1234 is a speedial to Nupoint (Call FLow) connect to PBX B
Customer chose an option that will send him to an Acd Path to PBX A
The Agent ID that will take the call on an IP Phone is in PBX B.

When the call is establish, what is the path? Is the path a---b are a---b----a----b
 
In that situation, route optimization would step in. Also, note that when the endpoints are IP, the only "tromboning" happening there is just during the call setup, the actual call path between endpoints is handled down in the IP layer.
 
Route optimization is designed to take care of multiple call paths between sites for single calls.

For the record, the most likely scenario for tromboning occurs with 3 sites.

Site A has redundant routes setup to get to site B. Either Directly or, redundantly via Site C.
Site C has redundant routes setup to get to site B. Either Directly or, redundantly via Site A.

Scenario:
Site B has an issue and can no longer be contacted By either site A or C
A call initiates from A to B but cannot succeed directly so call proceeds via Site C
Site C tries to send call to B but cannot succeed so call proceeds via Site A

In seconds, the entire path between site A and Site C is saturated with 1 call consuming all paths.
