Issues in production are the gifts that keep on giving. Another strange one to look at as phones were unable to perform Call Fortwarding All (CFA) from phones, depending on which server they were registered to.

I ran in to an issue in a customer’s production enviornment a few months back with a voice stream not negotiating Secure Real Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) even though it was configured correctly on the customer’s edge router, or so we thought.
