Manager (LSM) sends In-Call quality update messages to the switch. The In-Call quality update message

In earlier versions of Lync SDN API, LSM sent end-to-end quality updates to the switch at the end of a VoIP call.
Certain Lync/Skype for Business clients can generate in-call quality reports that can be processed by the Lync SDN
server and forwarded to the switch for further processing. For a list of Lync/Skype for Business clients that support
In-Call quality report, contact Microsoft® support.
Some characteristics of the In-Call quality reports are as follows:
n Lync/Skype for Business client supporting this enhancement sends an InCallQuality message every 35
seconds (by default). Lesser messages are sent for stable VoIP calls.
n InCallQuality message provides cumulative values of call quality metrics like delay, jitter, packet loss, MOS,
and more while the VoIP call is active.
