Limiting Route Selection Options for SIP

You can configure the local policy to use the single most-preferred route. And you can configure the SIP configuration max routes option to restrict the number of routes which can be selected from a local policy lookup:

  • A max-routes=1 value limits the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller to only trying the first route from the list of available preferred routes.
  • A max-routes=0 value or no max-routes value configured in the options field allows the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller to use all of the routes available to it.

A Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller configured for H.323 architectures will have access to all of the routes it looks up by default.
