LBM is part of the new enhanced locations CAC feature. Combined with the transition \
of locations from a fixed hub & spoke model to locations & links It moves bandwidth \
allocation outside of the ccm process and allows multiple clusters to run on the same \
network and exchange bandwidth allocation info so they can stay in sync.

It's a bit more overhead setting up BUT it allows you to accurately model your real \
network.

Isn't LBM for syncing to VCS?

just thought there might be a built in report/way/mechanism to get this.

Unfortunately, the counters you're looking for aren't accessible via the \
server-stored Perfmon logs.

You could also collect these counters through the Serviceability XML API and store \
them somewhere- http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/devguide/9_1_1/xmldev-911/serviceability.html

Thanks Ryan.  I should have mentioned that I am already in RTMT (Why no "Current \
Bandwidth Usage" counter Cisco?), but what I'm really looking for is, historical \
reporting.  I need to answer the question: Have calls between any of our sites began \
to increase or decrease since the introduction of a new tool?  For example, if we \
deploy Jabber+CSF, will that increase or decrease our intra-company calls?  One could \
guess it would decrease, since Instant Messaging is now introduced into the \
environment, but if there's a CSF for convenience, and now video for rich media \
communications, maybe it actually increases.  I'd like to report on this, instead of \
doing the typical thing of pushing my usage statistics on the entire user community.  \
"I don't think many people are using video, because I don't use video."

Anthony,


Although not likely what you are looking for (at least in the consumption method), \
there are a couple of performance counters you might be able to look at; Location \
LBM\BandwidthAvailable and Location LBM\VideoBandwidthAvailable. Subtracted from the \
configured amount, should yield usage.

I'm not finding much, and I'll keep looking, but does anyone know how to get a \
bandwidth usage report between locations?  E.g., Peak audio/video/immersive bandwidth \
consumption between all sites.

Thanks.
