BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SE1000 is the transfer point for signaling protocols. All signaling packets between the two networks pass through the SE1000 to implement functions such as CAC.
I-SBC supports the:
conversion between SIP over TCP and SIP over UDP;
signaling and media stream forwarding between different networks;
audio transcoding;
SIP/SIP-I/SIP-T interworking;
flexible routing;
IP-PBX trunking.
This was the I-SBC introduction.
