Logical Deployment

The key configurations used to establish load balancing operation, includes:

  • Core—This required configuration provides a reference between Oracle Communications Core Session Manager registrars and the load balancing configuration. After configuration, each Oracle Communications Core Session Manager advertises its supported cores to the SLRM, which then creates a list of load-balance candidates for those cores.
  • Cluster—This configuration refines the list of Oracle Communications Core Session Managers between which the SLRM balances traffic. The user can establish geographical preferences between Oracle SBCs and Oracle Communications Core Session Managers via cluster configuration on both devices. The default cluster ID, null, allows unconfigured Oracle Communications Core Session Managers and third party P-CSCFs to belong to clusters.

Explanations and configuration instructions for cores and clusters are presented below.
