Target Mapping and Conferences

If the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller is configured to enable Contact header mapping for the Refer-To header, then Contact header target maps are established for each individual call. The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller’s SIP B2BUA uses these maps to allow the media server to connect the conference initiator with the conferenced-in parties.

Prior to terminating the call (hanging up), the conference initiator can contact other parties and invite those additional parties to join the conference. These other parties can join the existing conference because the target mapping for the conference is still in effect on the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller.

Once the conference initiator hangs up, the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller discards the mapping from the conference.
