It is the job of a session border controller to exert influence over the data flows of sessions. The term "border" refers to a point of demarcation between one part of a network and another. As a simple example, at the edge of a corporate network, a firewall demarcates the local network (inside the corporation) from the rest of the Internet ...
NAT traversal with SBC during user registration. Similar to the registration case, the SBC will also include itself in the path of INVITE and other request messages. When receiving an INVITE from a user agent behind a NAT, the SBC will include a via header with its own address, replace the information in the contact header with its own address and also replace the address information in the ...
A back-to-back user agent (B2BUA) is a logical network element in Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) applications. [1] SIP is a signaling protocol for managing multimedia Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone calls. A back-to-back user agent operates between both end points of a communications session and divides the communication ...
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signaling protocol used for initiating, maintaining, and terminating communication sessions that include voice, video and messaging applications. [1] SIP is used in Internet telephony , in private IP telephone systems, as well as mobile phone calling over LTE ( VoLTE ).
The brand name "Net-Net" reflects the role of these products in interconnecting IP networks for voice, video and multimedia services. Acme Packet SBCs provide control functions to video and multimedia sessions — across IP network borders. They support multiple applications in service provider, large enterprise and contact center networks ...
The endpoints are low-intelligence devices, mostly executing control commands from a media gateway controller, also called call agent, in the softswitch and providing result indications in response. The protocol represents a decomposition of other VoIP models, such as H.323 and the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), in which the endpoint ...
An example of a session-layer protocol is the OSI protocol suite session-layer protocol, also known as X.225 or ISO 8327. In case of a connection loss this protocol may try to recover the connection. If a connection is not used for a long period, the session-layer protocol may close it and re-open it.
A media gateway controller (MGC), also known as a call agent, controls the media gateways. It monitors the gateways for events, such as an off-hook state when a user intends to initiate a telephone call, and issues requests to the gateway to initiate or complete sessions, to alert the called party, or to terminate a call.
