On an Avaya IP Office solution, which feature can release resources by letting a call use the IP network when calling from one site to another?

Explanation

H.323 is the VoIP protocol used by Avaya IP Office to establish IP trunks between sites (via Small Community Networking/SCN). When a call travels over an H.323 trunk, it uses the IP network instead of consuming physical PSTN circuits, thereby releasing those traditional telephony resources for other calls. Loop Start (A) is an analog line signaling type for connecting to the PSTN - it has nothing to do with IP networking between sites. Allow Direct Media Path (B) also releases resources, but it does so by letting media flow directly between two IP endpoints within a system, skipping the IP Office's voice compression modules - it doesn't specifically address inter-site IP routing. Silence Compression (C) reduces bandwidth consumption during calls by suppressing silent periods, but it doesn't enable or route calls over the IP network.

Memory tip: Think "H.323 = Highway between sites" - H.323 is the protocol that builds the IP highway your calls drive on when hopping from one IP Office site to another.
