The correct answer is B. 88 invites/sec. Option B (88 invites/sec) is correct because CVP Comprehensive mode generates 4 SIP INVITEs per call through the proxy (covering the inbound leg to CVP, the VRU/VXML gateway leg, the return leg to CVP, and the outbound leg to the agent). Starting from 20 CPS base: 20 × 4 = 80. Th
Question
Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise uses Cisco Unified Customer Voice Portal in comprehensive mode. The customer estimates the peak inbound traffic to be 20 CPS, and that they have 10% transfer calls and 10% Courtesy Callback. They need to deploy SIP proxy. How many minimum SIP invites should be used to size the SIP proxy?
Options
- A24 invites/sec
- B88 invites/sec
- C96 invites/sec
- D22 invites/sec

Explanation
Option B (88 invites/sec) is correct because CVP Comprehensive mode generates 4 SIP INVITEs per call through the proxy (covering the inbound leg to CVP, the VRU/VXML gateway leg, the return leg to CVP, and the outbound leg to the agent). Starting from 20 CPS base: 20 × 4 = 80. The 10% transfer calls (2 CPS × 2 additional INVITEs = 4) and 10% Courtesy Callback (2 CPS × 2 additional INVITEs = 4) add 8 more, yielding 80 + 4 + 4 = 88.
Option D (22) is wrong because it ignores nearly all SIP signaling overhead - essentially treating this as a near-flat pass-through (20 × ~1.1). Option A (24) similarly undercounts by only adding a small fixed overhead without properly accounting for the multi-leg comprehensive mode architecture. Option C (96) overcounts by misapplying the transfer or callback multipliers (e.g., using 3× instead of 2× for those additional legs).
Memory tip: Think "4 legs in Comprehensive mode" - base CPS × 4 is your foundation, then add 2× for each percentage-based feature (transfers, callbacks). The formula is (CPS × 4) + (transfer% × CPS × 2) + (callback% × CPS × 2).
