CAC Policing and Marking for non-Audio non-Video Media

The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller supports non-AVT (audio-visual transport) media profile and media policy configurations.

In previous releases, the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller only policed media based on average rate limits configured in media profiles, but these are only applied to AVT. And if there are not required bandwidth or average rate limit values set for the media profile, CAC and policing functions are not applied to media—even if the SDP specifies appropriate bandwidth values. Likewise, ToS markings are not applied for non-AVT media, but only for SIP, H.323, and AVT media types.

With this feature addition, you can now enable your Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller to handle non-AVT media types like image and text, and use application and data type for policing purposes. Bandwidth CAC support has also been added for non-AVT media types, as has support for the application specific (AS) bandwidth modifier (b=AS:<value>) in the SDP with specification of a defined amount of headroom for that value.
