Automatic Failover: - Webex CC cloud platform handles regional failover automatically - DNS-based routing to nearest healthy region - Agent desktop reconnects automatically - No manual intervention required for regional failures

10.3 Failover Scenarios¶

10.3.1 Scenario 1: Primary Internet Circuit Failure¶

Trigger: Loss of connectivity to primary ISP

Automatic Actions: 1. SBC detects loss of SIP registration (30 seconds) 2. SBC fails over to secondary WAN circuit 3. Re-registers with Webex CC via backup circuit 4. Active calls may drop (caller can redial) 5. New calls route via backup circuit

RTO: 60 seconds
User Impact: Minimal (active calls may drop, new calls work immediately)

10.3.2 Scenario 2: SBC/CUBE Hardware Failure¶

Trigger: Primary SBC becomes unresponsive

Automatic Actions: 1. Carrier detects SBC failure (SIP OPTIONS timeout) 2. Carrier routes calls to secondary SBC 3. Secondary SBC services all calls 4. Alert sent to NOC team

RTO: 2 minutes
User Impact: None if secondary SBC sized correctly

10.3.3 Scenario 3: Webex CC Regional Outage¶

Trigger: Entire AWS region hosting Webex CC fails

Automatic Actions: 1. Webex monitors detect region unavailability 2. DNS updated to route to backup region 3. Agent desktops reconnect to new region 4. Calls route to backup region

RTO: 5 minutes
User Impact: Brief disruption during failover

10.3.4 Scenario 4: Complete Site Outage¶

Trigger: Primary contact center site loses power/connectivity

Manual Actions: 1. Activate work-from-home agents 2. Redirect incoming calls to backup site 3. Deploy agents to alternate locations 4. Activate disaster recovery team

RTO: 4 hours
User Impact: Reduced capacity during transition

10.4 DR Testing Procedures¶

Section 12: Network Architecture and Capacity Planning¶

12.1 Bandwidth Provisioning¶

12.1.1 Bandwidth Calculation¶

Formula for Contact Center Bandwidth:

Total Bandwidth = (Voice + Signaling + Desktop + Management) × Overhead Factor

Components:
├─ Voice (RTP): 87.2 kbps per call (G.711) with IP overhead
├─ Signaling (SIP): 2 kbps per agent (average)
├─ Desktop Traffic: 50 kbps per agent (agent desktop, CRM)
├─ Management: 10% of total for monitoring/management
└─ Overhead Factor: 1.2 (20% buffer for bursts)

Example Calculation for 1,000 Agents:

Assumptions:
├─ Agents: 1,000
├─ Peak Concurrency: 70% (700 simultaneous calls)
├─ Codec: G.711 (87.2 kbps per call with overhead)
├─ Desktop Traffic: 50 kbps per agent
└─ Overhead: 20% buffer

Calculation:
├─ Voice: 700 calls × 87.2 kbps = 61,040 kbps
├─ Signaling: 1,000 agents × 2 kbps = 2,000 kbps
├─ Desktop: 1,000 agents × 50 kbps = 50,000 kbps
├─ Subtotal: 113,040 kbps = 110.4 Mbps
├─ Management (10%): 11.04 Mbps
├─ Total before buffer: 121.44 Mbps
└─ With 20% buffer: 145.7 Mbps

Recommended Circuit: 200 Mbps (single circuit)
OR
Dual 100 Mbps circuits for redundancy ✅ RECOMMENDED

12.1.2 Circuit Activation and Testing¶

Circuit Provisioning Checklist:

Step	Task	Owner	Duration	Status
1	Order circuits from ISP	Procurement	30-45 days	☐
2	Schedule installation	Network Team	1 day	☐
3	Install CPE router	ISP Technician	4 hours	☐
4	Configure BGP routing	Network Engineer	2 hours	☐
5	Test bandwidth speed	Network Engineer	1 hour	☐
6	Test failover	Network Engineer	2 hours	☐
7	Enable monitoring	NOC Team	1 hour	☐

Base Capacity:
├─ Without encryption: 3,000 concurrent sessions
├─ With TLS only: 2,000 concurrent sessions (-33%)
└─ With TLS + SRTP: 1,000 concurrent sessions (-67%)

Session Requirements Calculation:
├─ Agents: 1,000
├─ Concurrency Rate: 70% (700 simultaneous calls)
├─ Overhead Factor: 1.15 (15% for burst/growth)
└─ Required Sessions: 700 × 1.15 = 805 sessions

Conclusion:
├─ Single ASR 1002-HX: Adequate capacity (1,000 sessions)
├─ Recommended: Dual ASR 1002-HX for HA
└─ Total Capacity (HA): 2,000 sessions (150% headroom) ✅

Hardware Specifications:

Model	Sessions (No Enc)	Sessions (TLS+SRTP)	Throughput	Price (Est.)
ASR 1001-X	2,000	667	2.5 Gbps	$15,000

Handoff Rate	65%	50%	35%	30%

14.4 Phase 4: Predictive Routing (Week 33 Deployment)¶

14.4.1 ML Model Training¶

Data Requirements: - Minimum 6 months historical data - 10,000+ completed interactions - Customer attributes (tenure, value, sentiment) - Agent attributes (skills, performance, availability) - Outcomes (resolution, satisfaction, handle time)

Model Features:

Feature Category	Features
Customer	Tenure, lifetime value, previous interactions, sentiment, issue type
Agent	Skill level, average handle time, customer satisfaction score, utilization
Context	Time of day, day of week, queue wait time, channel type
Historical	Previous agent performance with similar customers, resolution rate

Model Training:

# Sample training approach
features = [
    'customer_tenure',
    'customer_ltv',
    'issue_complexity',
    'agent_skill_level',
    'agent_satisfaction_score',
    'time_of_day',
    'day_of_week'
]

target = 'successful_resolution'  # Binary: 0 or 1

# Train model
model = XGBoostClassifier()
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Predict best agent for incoming call
prediction = model.predict(customer_features)
recommended_agent = agent_with_highest_success_probability

14.4.2 Routing Logic¶

Predictive Routing Decision Flow:

Incoming Call
├─ Extract customer attributes
├─ Identify issue type (IVR input or AI classification)
├─ Get available agents with required skills
├─ For each agent, predict:
│   ├─ Probability of first call resolution
│   ├─ Predicted handle time
│   └─ Predicted customer satisfaction
├─ Score each agent:
│   └─ Score = (0.5 × FCR_prob) + (0.3 × CSAT_pred) + (0.2 × (1 / Handle_Time))
├─ Select agent with highest score
└─ Route call to selected agent

Fallback Logic:

If predictive routing unavailable (model error, insufficient data): 1. Fall back to skills-based routing 2. Log failure for review 3. Alert ML team if failures >5% of calls

Success Criteria:

Metric	Baseline (Skills-based)	Target (Predictive)	Improvement
First Call Resolution	75%	82%	+7%
Customer Satisfaction	4.⅖	4.5/5	+0.3
Average Handle Time	6:42	6:15	-27 seconds

Verify: Cipher suite matches approved list

Sample SDP Crypto Line:

a=crypto:1 AES_CM_128_HMAC_SHA1_80 inline:WVNfX19zZW1jdGwgKCkgewkyMjA7fQo=|2^31|1:1

Validation Checklist:

✅ Crypto attribute present in INVITE
✅ Cipher suite is approved (see table above)
✅ Key material present (base64 encoded)
✅ Media is encrypted (not RTP, but SRTP)
❌ No NULL cipher negotiated
Verify Media Encryption:

# Capture RTP packets
tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 -w rtp-capture.pcap portrange 8000-48199

# In Wireshark:
# - RTP packets should NOT be decodable
# - Should see encrypted payload (random data)
# - If you see clear audio, SRTP failed!
