Multiple Media Profiles

You can use the media profiles configuration to set up:

• One media profile for a particular SIP SDP encoding (such as G729), where the name of the profile identifies it uniquely. This behavior is your only option in Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller release prior to Release C6.1.0.
• Multiple media profiles for the same SIP SDP encoding. Available in Release C6.1.0 and forward, you can create multiple media profiles for the same encoding. To do so, you add a subname to the configuration, thereby identifying it uniquely using two pieces of information rather than one.

The sections below provide two descriptions of deployments where using multiple profiles for the same codec would solve codec and packetization problems for service providers.
