Configure a Session Agent Group

Create a session agent group to define a signaling endpoint configured to apply traffic shaping attributes and information about next hops and previous hops.

Session agent groups contain individual session agents in a logical grouping. You can configure each member of the group with individual constraints. The system does not require all members of a group to apply the same constraints.

Session agent group members do not need to reside in the same domain, network, or realm. The Oracle Enterprise Communications Broker (OECB) can allocate traffic among member session agents regardless of their location by using the allocation strategy that you select allocate traffic across the group members.

1. Access the Groups configuration object.
   Configuration tab, Service Provisioning section, Agents, Groups.
2. On the Groups page, click Add and do the following:
