SIP Disable Media Inactivity Timer for Calls Placed on Hold
Hardware-based media flow guard timers detect when a call has lost media while it is being relayed through the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller. In response, the system tears down the call.
You can configure disable-guard-timer-sendonly to disable media inactivity timers for calls placed on hold. The Oracle Communications Session Border Controller disableds initial and subsequent guard timers for media when the SIP or IWF call is put on hold with a 0.0.0.0 address in:
- The c=connection line
- An a=inactive attribute
- An a=sendonly attribute
It should be noted that disabling the media inactivity timers will also disable the guard timers for calls which are not necessarily on hold, but simply are one-way audio applications.
