The call path optimization allows to optimize the path of calls. Supposing to have the following scheme:

Abilis 1 and Abilis 2 are connected between them with a cluster. A call is received by Abilis 1 and the operator routes the call toward Abilis 2. Then the remote user reroutes the call toward the Operator. Without CPO the calls (one from Abilis 1 to Abilis2 and one from Abilis 2 to Abilis 1) remain active and can cause a degradation of the quality.
With CPO active the calls drawn with dotted lines are closed and the initial one remains active.
Supposing to have the following scheme:

Abilis1 and Abilis2 are connected between them with a cluster. The user (777) of Abilis1 make a call to user (888) of Abilis2. The user forward the call toward the other user (555) of Abilis1. Without CPO the calls (one from Abilis 1 to Abilis2 and one from Abilis 2 to Abilis 1) remain active and can cause a degradation of the quality.
With CPO active the calls drawn with dotted lines are closed and only one remains active, drawn with red line.
Suppose that VoIP tunnels and CTIR routings are already configured.
