In this section:

The Address Context is a container of objects corresponding to a specific IP Addressing domain. Address contexts are used in the SBC to contain and segregate objects that deal with IP addresses.

For example, multiple IP interfaces are grouped together into an IP interface group, and all grouped IP interfaces use the same address context.

Surrogate registrations are not deleted while deleting the SIP Registration.

Overlapping IP addresses are not allowed within an Address Context.
