Proxy Mode

The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller’s proxy mode determines whether it forwards requests received on the SIP interface to target(s) selected from local policy; or sends a send a redirect response to the previous hop. Sending the redirect response causes the previous hop to contact the targets directly.

If the source of the request matches a session agent with a proxy mode already defined, that mode overrides the proxy mode defined in the SIP interface.

You can configure the proxy mode to use the Record-Route option. Requests for stateless and transaction operation modes are forwarded with a Record-Route header that has the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller’s addresses added. As a result, all subsequent requests are routed through the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller.
