Cisco Hoot and Holler over IP
The voice multicasting feature on Cisco 2600 and Cisco 3600 series routers uses Cisco Voice-over-IP
(VoIP) technology to create a permanently connected point-to-multipoint hoot and holler network over
an IP connection.
Four-wire E&M, E1/T1, FXO, and FXS configurations provide continuous VoIP connections across a
packet network using the connection-trunk mechanism. By using the inherent point-to-multipoint
connectivity of IP multicast (IPmc), the routers can ta

Cisco Hoot and Holler over IP Feature Overview Hoot and holler is used in these various industries as a way to provide a one-to-many or many-to-many conferencing service for voice communications. In the past, hoot and holler was deployed using point-to-point telco circuits and a hoot and holler bridging and mixing functionality that was provided either by the customer or as a service of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) carrier. A common use of hoot and holler is a broadcast audi

Cisco Hoot and Holler over IP Feature Overview Hoot and holler networks are typically spread over four to eight sites, although financial retail networks may have hundreds of sites interconnected. Within a site, bridging (mixing voice signals) is done locally with a standard analog or digital bridge that may be part of a trading turret system. Between sites, there are two prevalent methods for providing transport: � Point-to-point leased lines with customer-provided audio bridging at a cent

Cisco Hoot and Holler over IP Feature Overview Technical Details of the Cisco Hoot and Holler over IP Solution This section describes how Cisco Hoot and Holler over IP works from a technical perspective. It covers design considerations in terms of IOS configurations and DSP mixing functionality as well as bandwidth planning and QoS, with the following assumptions: 1. That you have some level of Cisco IOS experience. 2. That you have some experience configuring QoS features with Cisco IOS. If

Cisco Hoot and Holler over IP Feature Overview is handled by the onboard DSPs on each voice-card (NM-1V, NM-2V or NM-HDV). Arbitration involves identifying the various sources of the voice stream, and mixing involves taking some of those voice streams and combining them into a single-sourced voice stream. Cisco Hoot and Holler over IP can handle many inbound voice streams, but it only arbitrates and mixes three streams to be heard within the Hoot group. This value works fine in most applic

Cisco Hoot and Holler over IP Feature Overview The uncompressed bandwidth includes IP/UDP/RTP headers (40 bytes) in the bandwidth calculation. Compressed RTP (cRTP) reduces the IP/UDP/RTP headers to between 2 to 4 bytes per packet. The calculation of compressed bandwidth below uses 4 bytes for a compressed IP/UDP/RTP header per packet. Maximum RTCP bandwidth is five percent of the total RTP traffic in a hoot and holler session. Since the Cisco Hoot and Holler over IP application supports m

Cisco Hoot and Holler over IP Feature Overview enabled or disabled, but since the DSPs also have to do arbitration and mixing, VAD must be disabled to reduce the DSPs processing load. In addition to enabling VAD (which is on by default), network administrators should modify the VAD parameters that sense background noise so that idle noise does not consume bandwidth. This can be configured as in the following E&M port example: voice class permanent 1 signal timing oos timeout disabled signal
