This version includes new features only.

Note: This version is compatible with AudioCodes One Voice Operations Center
(OVOC) Version 7.8.1119 and EMS/SEM Version 7.2.3113.

2.3.1 New Features


This section describes the new features introduced in this version.

2.3.1.1 CDR Customization for Adding SIP Header Information


The device can add any SIP header data, received in dialog-initiating SIP messages (e.g.,
INVITE) or non-dialog initiating SIP messages (e.g., SIP 200 OK) to the SBC CDR. This is
supported by using variables (Var.Call.Src/Dst.UserDefinedN, where N is 1 to 5) in Message
Manipulation rules and SBC CDR customization. The Message Manipulation rule stores the
SIP header and its value in the variable, and the CDR is customized to retrieve this stored
information from the variable and add it to the CDR.
The 'Field Type' parameter in the SBC CDR Format table provides new optional values to
retrieve this stored information from the Message Manipulation variables and add it to the
CDR:
 Var Call User Defined 1
 Var Call User Defined 2
 Var Call User Defined 3
 Var Call User Defined 4
 Var Call User Defined 5

Each of the above fields are associated with the stored value of the variable in the Message
Manipulation rule.
This feature is applicable to Call Start, Call Connect and Call End CDRs, and all CDR types
except Syslog Media.
If a variable is not added or modified in the Message Manipulation rule, and the CDR is
customized to include its stored value, the CDR displays an empty string for the value.
Applicable Application: All.
Applicable Products: All.

2.3.1.2 Querying Routing Server or ARM for User Credentials


When the device is configured to authenticate (as a server) incoming SIP dialog message
requests (INVITE and REGISTER) from User-type IP Groups, it can now obtain the user's
credentials (password) from a third-party routing server or ARM.
When this feature is enabled and the device receives an incoming SIP dialog-initiating
request, it sends the new REST API command getCredentials in the Get request to the
routing server or ARM. The name of the user whose credentials are requested is obtained
from the SIP From header when authenticating an INVITE message, or the To header when
authenticating a REGISTER message. The routing server or ARM sends a 200 response to
the device containing the password (if the requested user exists). The device sends the
challenge back to the user. The user resends the request with an Authorization header
(containing a response to the challenge), and the authentication process continues in the

Version 7.2 15 SBCs & Media Gateways


SBCs & Media Gateways

usual manner. If the device doesn’t receive a password, it rejects the incoming dialog (SIP
404).
This feature is enabled by configuring the existing IP Group's 'SBC Server Authentication
Type' parameter to the new optional value ARM Authentication. Note that the Routing
server or ARM does not authenticate users, but helps the device to process the SIP Digest
authentication by providing the user credentials.
Note that the feature is applicable only if the IP Group of the incoming SIP dialog is configured
as follows:
 The 'Authentication Mode' parameter is configured to SBC as Server.
 The 'Authentication Method List' is configured for INVITE or REGISTER messages.
Applicable Application: All.
Applicable Products: All.

2.3.1.3 DTLS Throughput Improvement


Throughput using the Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) protocol to secure UDP-
based traffic has been improved. DTLS is also used for WebRTC and therefore, WebRTC
session capacity has been consequently increased, as shown in Session Capacity per
Feature.
Applicable Application: SBC.
Applicable Products: Mediant 800; Mediant 2600; Mediant 4000; Mediant 90xx; Mediant
Software.

Notes:
• The figures listed in the table are accurate at the time of publication of this
document. However, these figures may change due to a later software update. For
the latest figures, please contact your AudioCodes sales representative.
• "GW" refers to Gateway functionality.

Version 7.2 19 SBCs & Media Gateways


SBCs & Media Gateways

• "SIP Sessions" refers to the maximum concurrent signaling sessions for both SBC
and Gateway (when applicable). Whenever signaling sessions is above the
maximum media sessions, the rest of the signaling sessions can be used for Direct
Media.
• "Session Type" refers to Gateway-only sessions, SBC-only sessions, or Hybrid
sessions which is any mixture of SBC and Gateway sessions under the limitations
of Gateway-only or SBC-only maximum values.
• "RTP Sessions" refers to the maximum concurrent RTP sessions when all sessions
are RTP-RTP (for SBC sessions) or TDM-RTP (for Gateway sessions).
• "SRTP Sessions" refers to the maximum concurrent SRTP sessions when all
sessions are RTP-SRTP (for SBC sessions) or TDM-SRTP (for Gateway sessions).
• "Registered Users" refers to the maximum number of users that can be registered
with the device. This applies to the supported application (SBC or CRP).
• Regarding signaling, media, and transcoding session resources:
√ A signaling session is a SIP dialog session between two SIP entities,
traversing the SBC and using one signaling session resource.
√ A media session is an audio (RTP or SRTP), fax (T.38), or video session
between two SIP entities, traversing the SBC and using one media session
resource.
√ A gateway session (i.e. TDM-RTP or TDM-SRTP) is also considered as a
media session for the calculation of media sessions. In other words, the
maximum Media Sessions specified in the table refer to the sum of Gateway
and SBC sessions.
√ In case of direct media (i.e., Anti-tromboning / Non-Media Anchoring), where
only SIP signaling traverses the SBC and media flows directly between the
SIP entities, only a signaling session resource is used. Thus, for products
with a greater signaling session capacity than media, even when media
session resources have been exhausted, additional signaling sessions can
still be handled for direct-media calls.
√ For call sessions requiring transcoding, one transcoding session resource is
also used. For example, for a non-direct media call in which one leg uses
G.711 and the other leg G.729, one signaling resource, one media session
resource, and one transcoding session resource is used.
• Capacity of the Cloud Resilience Package (CRP) application is listed under
"Registered Users".
• Capacity of the Lync Analog Device (LAD) application is listed under "Media
Sessions".
• MP-1288: The maximum number of media and signaling sessions is the summation
of the maximum 300 RTP-to-RTP (SBC) sessions and the maximum 288 TDM-RTP
(Gateway) sessions. The maximum number of SRTP sessions is the summation of
the maximum 150 RTP-to-SRTP (SBC) sessions and the maximum 288 TDM-
SRTP (Gateway) sessions.
• Hyper-Threading (HT) is disabled by default on Mediant 9000 with 1G ports only.
To enable HT, please refer to the Mediant 9000 SBC Installation Manual.
• Media Transcoding Cluster (MTC) feature is not supported by Mediant 9030 SBC.

LR Release Notes 20 Document #: LTRT-27485


LR Release Notes 3. Capacity

• Mediant 90xx SBC and Mediant VE SBC with Media Transcoders limitations:
* To allow DSP capabilities (such as transcoding), the Performance Profile
parameter must be configured to the DSP profile.
Each transcoding session is weighted as two RTP-RTP sessions without
transcoding. Therefore, the number of sessions without transcoding plus the
doubled number of sessions with transcoding must be less than the maximum RTP-
RTP figure specified in the table. As result, if all sessions involve transcoding, the
maximum number of sessions is half the maximum RTP-RTP sessions without
transcoding specified in the table.
** The maximum SRTP-RTP sessions is also effected by the above limitations. For
example, if sessions involve transcoding, the maximum number of SRTP-RTP
sessions is also limited by half of the maximum SRTP-RTP sessions without
transcoding.
• Mediant 9030: The SRTP Performance Profile is recommended for this product.
• Mediant VE SBC with vMT-type Media Transcoder: The host running the vMT
virtual machine requires the following configuration:
√ At least 2.8 GHz CPU with Intel® AVX support
√ SR-IOV enabled NICs
√ KVM environment
√ 8 hyper-threaded vCPUs should be allocated to the vMT virtual machine (4
physical cores)
√ 4-GB RAM should be allocated to the vMT virtual machine
• Mediant VE SBC and vMT-type Media Transcoder: Codec-transcoding
functionality is supported only on Intel CPUs with AVX enhancement. In addition,
AVX support must be reflected on the vCPU of the SBC virtual machine.
• Mediant VE SBC with Media Transcoder Cluster is currently supported only on
the OpenStack KVM hypervisor.
• Mediant VE SBC for VMware: The recommended profiles are applicable to when
Intel Xeon Scalable Processors and Hyper-Threading are used. These profiles
provide about the same capacity as the legacy profiles, but with only half of the
physical vCPUs as each vCPU refers to a Hyper-Threaded core (logical). For
example, a 4-vCPU virtual machine allocates only 2 physical cores. For minimum
requirements, see Section 3.3.14.1 on page 50.
• Mediant CE: Based on the following instances:
√ AWS:
o Signaling Components (SC): r4.2xlarge
o Media Components (MC) - forwarding only: r4.large
o Media Components (MC) - forwarding and transcoding: c4.4xlarge
√ Azure:
o SC: DS3_v2
o MC - forwarding only: DS1_v2, DS2_v2, or DS3_v2
o MC - forwarding and transcoding: DS2_v2, DS3_v2, or DS4_v2
√ VMware:
o SC: 4-vCPU (Hyper-Threaded), 16-GB RAM
o MC - forwarding and transcoding: 8-vCPU (Hyper-Threaded), 8-GB RAM
• Mediant SE: For new deployments, it's highly recommended to use the DL360 G10
server. For exact specifications and BIOS settings, please contact your
AudioCodes sales representative.

Note:
• The figures in the table for SIPRec capacity assume that there are no other
concurrent, regular (non-SIPRec) voice sessions.
• For Mediant VE SBC, SIPRec capacity depends on instance size.
• Regarding WebRTC, the figures assume that the TLS key size used for the
WebSocket and DTLS negotiation is 2048-bit. The figures also assume that either
click-to-call or registered agent sessions are active (not both); for combined traffic,
please contact AudioCodes support.

3.3.11 Mediant 9000 / 9000 Rev. B / 9080 SBC with Media Transcoders
Mediant 9000, Mediant 9000 Rev. B, or Mediant 9080 SBC with Media Transcoders allows
increasing the number of transcoding sessions by using Media Transcoders. The maximum
number of transcoding sessions depends on the following:
 Number of Media Transcoders in the media transcoding cluster.
 Cluster operation mode (Best-Effort or Full-HA mode).
 Maximum transcoding sessions. Each transcoding session is weighted as two RTP-
RTP sessions without transcoding. Therefore, the number of sessions without
transcoding plus the doubled number of sessions with transcoding must be less than
the maximum RTP-RTP value specified in the table. As a result, if all sessions are with
transcoding, the maximum number of sessions is half the maximum RTP-RTP
sessions without transcoding as specified in Table 3-1.
The following table lists maximum transcoding sessions capacity of a single Media
Transcoder.

3.3.14.6 Mediant VE SBC with Media Transcoders


Mediant VE SBC with Virtual Media Transcoders allows increasing the number of transcoding
sessions by using Media Transcoders. The maximum number of transcoding sessions
depends on the following:
 The number of Media Transcoders in the media transcoding cluster.
 The cluster operation mode (Best-Effort or Full-HA mode).
 The maximum transcoding sessions that the Mediant VE SBC can perform. Each
transcoding session is weighted as two RTP-RTP sessions without transcoding.
Therefore, the number of sessions without transcoding plus the doubled number of
sessions with transcoding must be less than the maximum RTP-RTP value specified in
the table. As a result, if all sessions are with transcoding, the maximum number of
sessions is half the maximum RTP-RTP sessions without transcoding as specified in
Table 3-1.
The following table lists maximum transcoding session capacity of a single MT-type Media
Transcoder:
