High Availability H.323-Based Call Flow
This section describes the relationship among Unified CVP solution components from the
perspective of an H.323-based call flow. We begin with a hypothetical comprehensive model
incoming call, and trace its effect on each component with a particular view toward how that
component finds the next component downstream. In the process, we will be describing the
system’s high availability architecture.
Please refer to the following diagram.

Although not shown in the diagram, a Media Server can be connected to the VXML Gateway.
Contact Server Switches (CSSs) can be placed between the VXML Gateway and the VoiceXML
Server, between the VXML Gateway and the ASR/TTS Server, between the VXML Gateway
and the Media Server.
