The first step in joining SCDP is to pick a prefix. This is as simple as adding an entry to the table on the main page and self-assigning a prefix that does not conflict with those already listed. It is recommended that you create a page for yourself so you can share details about your network.

After you've picked a prefix, you will want to take a look at the network diagram to see how current trunking is arranged. Various peers can trunk using varying technologies as follows:

This trunking method requires a Cisco Integrated Services Router or similar that can support a Channelized T1/E1 Circuit Emulation Module like the NM-CEM-4TE1. This is a close as we can get to a “TDM” trunking experience. However, it does require that you also establish IP peering with the network via VPN tunnel (WireGuard is most common, but other technologies can be supported if needed) and, preferably, BGP.

This is the preferred trunking method if you have a Cisco Integrated Services Router or other H.323 capable device in your voice network. More detail TBD

If you do not have a device that will speak H.323. Details TBD

Last resort, details TBD
