SIP-to-SIP Basic Functionality for Session Border Controller

The SIP-to-SIP Basic Functionality for Session Border Controller (SBC) for Cisco Unified Border Element (Cisco UBE) feature provides termination and re-origination of both signaling and media between VoIP and video networks using SIP signaling in conformance with RFC 3261. The SIP-to-SIP protocol interworking capabilities of the Cisco UBE support the following:

  • Basic voice calls (Supported audio codecs include: G.711, G.729, G.728, G.726, G.723, G.722, AAC_LD, iLBC. Video codecs: H.263, and H.264)

  • Codec transcoding

  • Calling/called name and number

  • Dual-Tone Multifrequency (DTMF) relay interworking
    • SIP RFC 2833 <-> SIP RFC 2833
    • SIP Notify <-> SIP Notify

  • Interworking between SIP early-media and SIP early-media signaling

  • Interworking between SIP delayed-media and SIP delayed-media signaling

  • RADIUS call-accounting records

  • Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) synchronized with call signaling

  • SIP-SIP Video calls

  • Tool Command Language Interactive Voice Response (TCL IVR) 2.0 for SIP, including media playout and digit collection (RFC 2833 DTMF relay)

  • T.38 fax relay and Cisco fax relay

  • UDP and TCP transport
