Media Release Behind the Same IP Address
The media management behind the same IP feature lets the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller release media when two endpoints are behind the same IP address, in the same realm. Using this feature prevents the media for intra-site calls from going through the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller. You can use this feature for both hosted NAT traversal (HNT) and non-HNT clients. It works with NATed endpoints and for non-NATed ones that are behind the same IP.
Additional Media Management Options
Additional media management options include:
- Media directed between sources and destinations within this realm on this specific Oracle Communications Session Border Controller. Media travels through the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller rather than straight between the endpoints.
- Media directed through the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller between endpoints that are in different realms, but share the same subnet.
- For SIP only, media released between multiple
Oracle Communications Session Border Controllers.
To enable SIP distributed media release, you must set the appropriate parameter in the realm configuration. You must also set the SIP options parameter to media-release with the appropriate header name and header parameter information. This option defines how the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller encodes IPv4 address and port information for media streams described by, for example, SDP.
Configuring Media Release Behind the Same IP Address
You need to configure both the mm-in-realm and mm-same-ip parameters for the realm:
- If the mm-in-realm parameter is disabled, the mm-same-ip parameter is ignored.
- If the mm-in-realm parameter is enabled and the mm-same-ip parameter is disabled, media will be managed in the realm but released if the two endpoints are behind the same IP address.
