Intel HMP software/Interactive Intelligence

Monday, January 16th, 2006

Just did some work troubleshooting an audio delay issue with Cisco gateways, Polycom SIP IP Phones, and the Interactive Intelligence (I3) call center server.

The problem that existed was one where any calls running through the I3 experienced 2-6 seconds of delay. The root cause appears to be dynamic jitter buffers growing abnormally large almost immediately, then causing the playout of conversation to be delayed.

The cause wasn’t QoS related because calls directly between the Cisco gateways (2811’s) and the phones worked perfectly.

Calls involving the Intel HMP software on the I3 server however saw jitter on the order of thousands of milliseconds.

The “temporary” fix was to lock the jitter buffers on the HMP software to 6. This seems to have cured it.

My main question is, where in the software does the problem really lie?

The CMM (Communication Media Module)

It would seem this blade is finally becoming stable. I’m seeing it used more, and am hearing rumors of the 6608 getting discontinued sometime within a year or so.

I’ve always been a fan of this blade given it’s capabilities. I’m glad to see it finally (only took three years) working to the point where’s it a useable device for everything (gateway, conference/transcode and FXS analog).
