Cisco CUSP EOL Solution/Work around

[johngalek]

Hello,

We currently have 2- Cisco CUSP 10.2 and we have notification that the product is EOL with no replacement. Does anyone have a work around to remove the CUSP or equipment to replace the CUSP?  Let me know if you have any questions. I sent config to TAC and they pointed me to Sales support. Any direction would be appreciated.

[Jonathan Schulenberg]

It would help to know how you are you using CUSP. I have heard several folks evaluating Kamailio.

I have the same situation as you John.

but I plan to just removing the CUSP out of the solution and bypass from CUBE to CVP or CUCM and let the CUBE balance by their config.

We are doing this also (loved SIP Proxy), basically add the CUBEs and CVPs directly in OAMP-SPOG(PCCE), update the routes, the CPS on our CUBEs and SIP Proxies was low enough for this to make sense as a viable option

[Andreas Stuber]

We use opensips.org as a replacement, and generally use it to handle failover/ redundancy before calls land on CUBE.
