What Is a Session Agent

A session agent defines an internal signaling endpoint. It is an internal next hop signaling entity that applies traffic shaping attributes to flows. For each session agent, concurrent session capacity and rate attributes can be defined. Service elements such as gateways, softswitches, and gatekeepers are defined automatically within the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller as session agents. The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller can also provide load balancing across the defined session agents.
