User's Manual
32. SBC Overview
Typically, the device does not change the negotiated media capabilities (mainly performed
by the remote user agents). However, it does examine and may take an active role in the
SDP offer-answer mechanism. This is done mainly to anchor the media to the device
(default) and also to change the negotiated media type, if configured. Some of the media
handling features, which are described later in this section, include the following:
Media anchoring (default)
Direct media
Audio coders restrictions
Early media and ringback tone handling
Call hold translations and held tone generation
NAT traversal
RTP broken connections
Media firewall
•
RTP pin holes - only RTP packets related to a successful offer-answer
negotiation traverse the device: When the device initializes, there are no RTP pin
holes opened. This means that each RTP\RTCP packets destined to the device
are discarded. Once an offer-answer transaction ends successfully, an RTP pin
hole is opened and RTP\RTCP flows between the two remote user agents. Once
a pin hole is opened, the payload type and RTP header version is validated for
each packet. RTP pin holes close if one of the associated SIP dialogs is closed
(may also be due to broken connection).
•
Late rogue detection - once a dialog is disconnected, the related pin holes also
disconnect.
•
Deep Packet inspection of the RTP that flows through the opened pin holes.
32.5.1 Media Anchoring
By default, the device anchors the media (RTP) traffic. In other words, the media between
SIP endpoints traverses the device. You can change this default mode by enabling direct
media between SIP endpoints. Media anchoring may be required, for example, to resolve
NAT problems, enforce media security policies, perform media transcoding, and media
monitoring.
To enforce RTP traffic to flow through the device, the device modifies all IP address fields
in the SDP:
Origin: IP address, session and version id
Session connection attribute ('c=' field)
Media connection attribute ('c=' field)
Media port number
RTCP media attribute IP address and port
