SBC

Session Border Control (SBC) is an IP multimedia security and operational enhancement function for session-oriented IP services, based on SIP/H.323/H.248 signaling. It enables direct IP-to-IP interconnect between multiple administrative domains for session-based services, providing protocol internetworking, security, admission control, and management. It enables direct IP-to-IP peering between service providers, and between service providers and their business and residential customers.

The most common SBC deployment is Voice over IP (VoIP) peering between service providers. Up until now, this kind of peering was done by converting IP to public switched telephone network (PSTN) and using existing PSTN peering infrastructure, but the SBC approach has experienced phenomenal growth because it saves up to 75 percent in capital expenses.

Other important SBC services include:

Security—Includes topology and address hiding, theft of service prevention, protocol normalization, and Denial of Service (DoS) protection.

Quality of Service (QoS) demarcation—Allows inter-service-provider service level agreements.

Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal—Required in service-provider-to-enterprise scenarios.

Billing—Provides enhanced current accounting records with session information such as QoS, codecs used, and so on.

SBC controls the signaling and media traffic generated during the setup, conduct, and teardown of interactive media communications. Each of its terms, in this context, has a special meaning:

Session—In VoIP, a session is the same as a call. Each call consists of exchanges of control signals, and one or more media streams and associated data. This data can include audio, video, and other data, as well as call statistics, QoS data, and information needed for control signaling. It is this session that the SBC controls.

Border—The demarcation point between one part of a network and another. One example is the firewall separating a corporate LAN from the rest of the Internet. Other example are the filtering routers, security servers, and other network elements that can separate one department within a large corporation from others in the same corporation. The SBC controls the flow of session data across these borders.

Controller—The administrative functions that the SBC performs on the session data streams as they cross the borders between parts of the network. In addition to basic control functions, an SBC can provide metrics, access security, and data conversion services.


Note Cisco ANA currently provides SBC support on ASR 1000 routers only.

SBE SIP Timer Properties

The SBE SIP Timer Properties object represents a SIP Timer. Users can configure SIP timers to permit performance tuning of network elements participating in SBC traffic.

Attribute Name
Attribute Description

Polling Interval

tcpConnectTimeout

Time (in milliseconds) the SBC waits for a SIP TCP connection to a remote peer to complete before failing the connection. The default is 1000.

IPCore

Configuration

tcpIdleTimeout

Minimum time (in milliseconds) a TCP socket must remain open while not processing traffic. If the socket remains idle after that time, it can be closed. The default is two seconds.

IPCore

Configuration

tlsIdleTimeout

Transport Layer Security (TLS) idle timeout.

IPCore

Configuration

inviteTimeout

Time (in milliseconds) the SBC waits for a final response to an outbound SIP INVITE request. The default is 180 seconds. If no response is received during that time, an internal Request Timeout response is generated and returned to the caller.

IPCore

Configuration

udpFirstRetransmitInterval

Time (in milliseconds) the SBC waits for a UDP response or ACK before sending the first retransmission of the relevant signal. If the SBC keeps getting no responses, it doubles subsequent retransmission intervals each time until it reaches the udp-max-retransmit-interval duration. It will cease retransmitting the request and timeout the signal if 64 times this duration passes without the receipt of a response or ACK. The default first UDP retransmission interval is 500 milliseconds.

IPCore

Configuration

udpMaxRetransmitInterval

Maximum interval (in milliseconds) after which SBC will retransmit. The default interval is four seconds.

IPCore

Configuration

tcpConnectTimeout

Time interval (in milliseconds) over which SBC will retain negative UDP responses to INVITE requests. All subsequent retransmitted responses received within this interval will be answered with a negative ACK. Thereafter, any further retransmitted responses are ignored. The default UDP response linger period is 32 seconds.
