The Need for Enterprise Session Border Controller The E-SBC allows the enterprise to control its SIP implementation ® The Ingate SIParator 1
Why does the Enterprise need an SBC? § Normalization of the SIP signaling § § NAT and Firewall traversal § § § Eliminate single points of failure Quality of Service § § • Protect against Denial of Service attacks Disaster recovery § § Reduce opportunity for theft of services Intrusion Prevention / Detection § § Avoid delivery of mal-formed packets Control through authentication § • To enable SIP to the enterprise To permit placement of the PBX behind the firewall Security through deep packet inspection § § To insure interoperability with the service provider To deliver the highest quality voice Performance metrics Encryption for private communications

E-SBC Functions Ingate SIP Proxy/Registrar SIP Signaling 168. x. xx 10. x. xx Media IP-Phone ITSP 1. Check the SIP signaling, packet inspection -Full flexibility to handle future threats 2. Rewrite for the different address spaces 3. Forward the signaling to the correct SIP proxy or client 4. Open ports (UDP/TCP) in the firewall for the media -Only for the duration of the call -Only between the exact endpoints 5. Media flows through the ports 6. Close ports after the call
